What is a X-class sunstorm?

An X-class sunstorm refers to a powerful solar flare classified as an X-class, which is the most intense category on the scale used to measure solar flares. These flares can release significant amounts of energy, potentially impacting Earth's magnetosphere and causing disturbances such as geomagnetic storms. X-class flares can disrupt satellite communications, navigation systems, and even power grids on Earth. They are often associated with coronal mass ejections (CMEs) that can further enhance their effects.
