I'll convert it to a metric unit for you so it's easier to visualize: the solar farm is 2*10^27 square Angstroms.
Hope that helps!
Thanks, It actually does, because the conversation factor is easy.
2e27 Å2 = 2e7 m2 = 20 km2
So an area 5km by 4km. You can now easily compare it to the size of your neighborhood, town or city.
Finally, a unit i can get behind
How many Texas' is that?
Texas's?
Texi?
That is actually helpful. It's easy to convert from Angstroms (10^-10 m) to meters, to kilometers (10^3 m). That means it's all just basic arithmetic. 27 - 2*(10 + 3) = 27 - 26 = 1. So, it's 2*10^1 square km, or 20 square km.
