Space Weather, Space Climate, Habitability Zone

Scientific paper

Today the Sun exhibits a stable radiation output, which is expected to endure on a long time scale and characterizes the Space Climate (SpC). On a short time scale the solar activity perturbs the heliosphere by originating radiation outbursts, highly energetic particles and plasmoids, which characterize the Space Weather (SpW). A similar phenomenology can occur in solar-like stars and affect the exoplanetary environments. In this work we speculate on the possible mutual role of SpW and SpC on life birth and evolution, stressing the inadequacy of the basic concept of Habitability Zone and the relevance of SpW and SpC to life-genicity and life-sustainability.
