If stars that are young run hotter than older ones, then how is it that an early sun could be dimmer?
I assume that even though the stars are hotter when they are younger, they are also smaller and the radiation requires more distance to travel, therefore losing more energy along the way before it hits Earth. Is my assumption correct?
