Average distance from the earth to the sun = 1.496*1011 metres.
Speed of light in vacuum = 3.0*108 metres per xecond.
0.0000034 2460000000 these are not in scientific notation
953 in scientific notation is 9.53 x 10^2
Scientific notation shows things to the power of 10 So 35 in scientific notation is 3.5 x 10 Other examples are 350 is 3.5 x 102
Using scientific notation reduces the need to write out very large or very small numbers as the following examples show:- 1,000,000,000,000 = 1.0*1012 in scientific notation 0.0000000001 = 1.0*10-10 in scientific notation
Here are the quick examples of the numbers written in scientific notation: 3.4 = 3.4 x 100 34.0 = 3.4 x 10

when you work with scientific notation you get to use the powers of ten
Here are the quick examples of the numbers written in scientific notation: 3.4 = 3.4 x 100 34.0 = 3.4 x 10
6.912956232e13 in Scientific Notation = 6.912956232E+13 x 100
Less digits are needed for very large numbers or for very small numbers as in the following examples:- 1,000,000,000,000,000 = 1.0*1015 in scientific notation 0.000000001 = 1.0*10-9 in scientific notation
5, 800,000 and -23.5
Examples: 4120Ca, Ca-41, calcium-41; only the first is a scientific notation.
There is no such law. "Scientific notation" is a convention (not a law), that lets you write very large or very small numbers in a brief way (without writing lots of zeros). You can find details, and examples, in the Wikipedia article on "Scientific notation".
Therefore, the decimal number 0.000487 written in scientific notation is 4.87 × 10-4 and it has 3 significant figures. Here are some more examples of decimal to ...
