minus-squareDerby@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up14arrow-down2·3 months agoI’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!
minus-squareTurun@feddit.delinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·edit-23 months agoThanks, 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.

minus-squaremerc@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·3 months agoThat 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.

Finally, a unit i can get behind

Texas’s?
Texi?
