Scientific reports that refer to very large or very small numbers will use scientific notation. Howvwever, the notation is less common in everyday life. Having said that, media reporting monetary values in millions (or billions, trillions), or populations are implicitly using a related concept. These are based on powers of a thousand rather than ten.
Your 150 will be 1.50 x 102 in scientific notation. In scientific notation, we will see only one digit to the left of the decimal, and the other digits will appear on the right. And we'll see the "location" or "position" of the decimal set by a power or ten.
0.03 expressed in scientific notation = 3 x 10-2.For further information see the related link.
2.37 X 102 ============as you see for numbers this small scientific notation is more inconvenient than just writing the number in standard notation
It is: 108,200,000 and can be expressed as 1.082*108 in scientific notation
You can see them all, if you know where to look

Geometry is used in my everyday life because I see it everyday. Everything I see is practically geometry. There are posters on my classroom wall, there are desks and chairs, tables, and a big nice white board. I guess this is really how I used geometry in my everyday life.

1.9 X 1027 kilograms ------------------------ This is the mass of Jupiter. Try writing that out in longhand and you will see why scientific notation is useful to astronomers. Very large numbers in astronomy need a way to write them in a useful and compact form.
