Looks expensive. The grey ones are the broken ones.

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.

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.
