2.2 × 10⁻⁸ radians is 0.0045 arcseconds [1]. That answer is off by 3 orders of magnitude.

Thanks.

That was the latest greatest Sonnet 4.5 ... not quite great enough evidentially.

I just asked it to "check the radians to arcsec conversions", and it realized the error.


"You're absolutely right!"


:O

So what would be the difference on magnitude between the bacteria and Uranus, then?

Edit: nvm, I just read your other comment.
