just like any other elements if you are talking about the size or mass of one or a few atoms, then you probably want to ust scientific notation.
Because it deals in some very large and very small numbers.
earths mass in scientific notation is 5.98*1024kg
It is about 240,000 miles which in scientific notation is: 2.4*10^5
It is about: 9.3*10^7 miles in scientific notation
The layers of the earth extend for miles. It would be possible to list those distances in scientific notation.
The average distance is 58 million miles. This is expressed in scientific notation as: 5.8e+7 miles.
The earth's mass in kg is:5.9736 x 1024 in scientific notation5,973,600,000,000,000,000,000,000 in standard notation
It is H2O. The notation for water is the same wherever in the universe it is.
1.08321×1012 km3
9.3 × 107 miles.
368,000 in Scientific Notation = 3.68 x 105
Scientific notation is often used to represent very large and very small numbers. Actually, you can also express a "normal-sized" number in scientific notation. So, whenever there is a number, you may use scientific notation.
