Scientists use "scientific notation" as a shorthand to describe very large or very small numbers. Rather than stringing together a 3 and 30 zeroes to write a very large number, it's simpler to say "3 times 10 to the 30th, power", or 3E30. This is a lot simpler than 3,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000.
