How is distance calculated in scientific notation?

Answer 1

Distance is not calculated any differently. Same calculations, just you are probably using really large or really small numbers.

Answer 2

In scientific notation, distance is calculated by multiplying a number between 1 and 10 (known as the coefficient) by a power of 10 (known as the exponent). The exponent represents the number of places the decimal point is moved to the right (positive exponent) or to the left (negative exponent). This notation is commonly used to represent large or small distances, such as in astronomy or Nanotechnology, where writing out the entire number would be cumbersome.
