Not as such! Scientific notation is instead a convenient way of working with very large or very small numbers.
For example the earth has a mass of 5,974,200,000,000,000,000,000,000 kg. This is quite a difficult number to work with (it takes a long time to count all the zeros and find just how big a number it is!)
In scientific notation it is written as 5.9742 × 1024 which is much more easy to work with!
