Scientific notation is useful for very large or very small numbers. If you use such numbers in your "real world", then scientific notation will be very useful. This may be the case, for example, when you work in science or engineering. Otherwise, if you don't work in an area that uses such large or small numbers, you probably won't find much use for them.
It's probably in base ten because we use base ten for all our OTHER work in numbers as well. We learn to write numbers in base ten when in elementary school, and use base ten throughout our lives even if we aren't scientists or mathematicians or students or professionals who need to use scientific notation. So keeping scientific notation in base ten makes it easier for everyone to learn and read.

Scientific notation makes very large or very small numbers easier to work with.
when you work with scientific notation you get to use the powers of ten

Yes, marine biology often uses scientific notation to represent numbers that are very large or very small, such as for measuring population sizes, ocean depths, or molecular concentrations. This notation helps simplify calculations and data representation in scientific research.

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!

Any profession that is required to work with very large or very small numbers.
scientific notation is the way that scientists easily handle very large numbers or very small numbers. For example, instead of writing 0.0000000056, we write 5.6 x 10-9. So, how does this work?We can think of 5.6 x 10-9 as the product of two numbers: 5.6 (the digit term) and 10-9 (the exponential term).
6.570 = 6.570*1 = 6.570*10^0.
