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!

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.
