as a reflector for long range, high frequency communications (HF comms). During a solar flare the increase in x-ray radiation from the Sun causes the ionosphere to absorb rather than reflect signals and this disrupts communications systems on the sun-lit side of the Earth. The Sun may also emit radio bursts
