How to Read the Solar Flare Classification 3D Explorer
Open the Solar Flare Classification 3D Explorer, drag the flare-class slider from A up to X20, and watch the flare loop, particle burst, and Earth reach arc scale with the real GOES and NOAA figures in the facts panel.
- Open https://freetoolonline.com/space-3d/solar-flare-classification.html and wait for the flare scene and facts panel to render.
- Drag the flare-class slider from A toward X20.
- Watch the flare loop brighten and the particle burst intensify as the class rises.
- Watch the red reach arc appear on the Earth companion once the class reaches M1/R1, and grow wider toward X20/R5.
- Read the facts panel for the real GOES peak X-ray flux and the matching NOAA Radio Blackout rating.
- Drag to orbit and scroll or pinch to zoom for a closer look.

Why trust these tools
- Ten-plus years of web tooling. The freetoolonline editorial team has shipped browser-based utilities since 2015. The goal has never changed: get you to a working output fast, without an install.
- No install, no sign-up. Open a tool and get a working output in seconds - nothing to download and no account to create. Tools that need heavy processing run it on our service, so even a low-powered machine gets the job done.
