How has the solar wind evolved to reach what it is today? In this review, I discuss the long-term evolution of the solar wind, including the evolution of observed properties that are intimately linked to the solar wind: rotation, magnetism and activity. Given that we cannot access data from the solar wind 4 billion years ago, this review relies on stellar data, in an effort to better place the Sun and the solar wind in a stellar context. I overview some clever detection methods of winds of solar-like stars, and derive from these an observed evolutionary sequence of solar wind mass-loss rates. I then link these observational properties (including, rotation, magnetism and activity) with stellar wind models. I conclude this review then by discussing implications of the evolution of the solar wind on the evolving Earth and other solar system planets. I argue that studying exoplanetary systems could open up new avenues for progress to be made in our understanding of the evolution of the solar wind.
太阳风是如何演化成如今的状态的？在这篇综述中，我将探讨太阳风的长期演化，包括与太阳风密切相关的观测特性的演化：自转、磁性和活动。鉴于我们无法获取40亿年前太阳风的数据，本综述依赖恒星数据，以便更好地将太阳和太阳风置于恒星背景中。我概述了一些探测类日恒星风的巧妙方法，并由此得出观测到的太阳风质量损失率的演化序列。然后，我将这些观测特性（包括自转、磁性和活动）与恒星风模型联系起来。在本综述的结尾，我将讨论太阳风演化对不断演化的地球和其他太阳系行星的影响。我认为，研究系外行星系统可能为我们理解太阳风的演化开辟新的进展途径。
