If you wanted to detect X-rays coming from the sun, the detector would have to be placed in orbit around Earth since most X-rays are absorbed the atmosphere.

Hope this helped :)

You would have to place your sensor above earth's atmosphere because it blocks out nearly all x-rays. this is why we have the Chandra observatory

hope this helps
