That’s a lot likelier, yes. I may be pessimistic, but I think that still wouldn’t help them answer “How far is the sun from earth?” because I doubt your average teenager can compute “8 minutes times 300,000 km/s in km”, let alone “8 minutes times 186,300 miles/s in miles”. Their phone can, but their phone also can answer “How far is the sun from earth?” directly.
