What does the magnitude of Ksp (or the magnitude of ?x? of a Ksp ICE box) tell us about the salt?

The bigger Ksp, the worse the solubility.

Magnitude of K_sp indicates the solubility of the salt.A large value of Ksp means more solubility of the salt.

Do we talk about Ksp = - log(Sp) or only Sp

Compare Ksp = 5 and 8
Sp = 10^(-KsP)
Sp = 10^(-5) = 0,00001
Sp = 10^(-8) = 0,00000001

So the larger KsP gives a smaller Sp,
So it must be the opposit, isn't it. Where are I am wrong.

Please check
it is K_sp and not pK_sp
