Solar flares are categorized as small C-class flares, medium-sized M flares and major X-class flares. Each class also has subcategories from 1 to 9, so an M9 flare is stronger than an M4.

Solar flares are closely related to another solar phenomenon called a coronal mass ejection, or CME. Where there's a flare, there's likely to be a CME, just like where there's smoke there's fire.
