The research, which was published in Nature Geoscience, analysed how the Sun s nourishing sunlight will speed up the rate at which the atmosphere is deoxygenated.
The study s authors noted in their paper that future deoxygenation is an inevitable consequence of increased solar radiation.
According to Matthew Warke of the University of St Andrews, as the Sun grows older, it will get considerably brighter and brighter.
Earth will, consequently, receive much more sunlight and solar energy that will increase the weathering of silicate rocks.
