The age-dependent activity of a star dictates the extent of its planetary impact. We study the interaction of the stellar wind produced by Solar-like stars with the magnetosphere of Earth-like planets using three dimensional (3D) magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations. The numerical simulations reveal important features of star-planet interaction e.g. bow-shock, magnetopause, magnetotail, etc. Interesting phenomena such as particle injection into the planetary atmosphere as well as atmospheric mass loss are also observed which are instrumental in determining the atmospheric retention by the planet.
