Based on the author s own work and results obtained by
international teams he coordinated, this SpringerBrief offers a
concise discussion of the origin and early evolution of atmospheres
of terrestrial planets during the active phase of their host stars,
as well as of the environmental conditions which are necessary in
order for planets like the Earth to obtain N_2-rich atmospheres.
Possible thermal and non-thermal atmospheric escape processes are
discussed in a comparative way between the planets in the Solar
System and exoplanets. Lastly, a hypothesis for how to test and
study the discussed atmosphere evolution theories using future UV
transit observations of terrestrial exoplanets within the orbits of
dwarf stars is presented."
