Abstract (EN): An unbiased sample of solar twins shows that the Sun has a normal Li abundance km its age and that, a low Li abundance does not imply the presence of planets We find a tight correlation between Li and age, which holds for all stars analyzed in our sample solar stars with and without, detected giant planets; and stars that may host, terrestrial planets
