What are the different types, or classes, of flares? - Stanford …
WEBScientists classify solar flares according to their X-ray brightness, in the wavelength range 1 to 8 Angstroms. Flares classes have names: A, B, C, M, and X, with A being the tiniest and X being the largest. Each category has nine subdivisions ranging from, e.g., C1 to C9, M1 to M9, and X1 to X9.
