Where do I see Scientific Notation? by Saba Husain https://padlet.com/sabahere/bo6bznbagi0x Standard form Wall en-us 2016-09-15 12:24:26 UTC 2025-11-18 06:59:04 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Dartstarget.png My example is the distance from the Earth to the Sun. The Sun is 93 million miles away from the Earth, so instead of writing 93,000,000 we can write 9.3 x 10^7 - Tanvi 7A https://padlet.com/sabahere/bo6bznbagi0x/wish/124497062 2016-09-17 02:46:49 UTC https://padlet.com/sabahere/bo6bznbagi0x/wish/124497062 Euan https://padlet.com/sabahere/bo6bznbagi0x/wish/124558447 My example is the market capitalization of the New York stock exchange, at US$ 19.6 trillion as of August 2016. Written in scientific notation, that would be 1.96*10^13.
Two more examples include the average number of cells in the human body (3.72*10^13), and the scientific notation of googol (1*10^100).]]> 2016-09-18 11:53:43 UTC https://padlet.com/sabahere/bo6bznbagi0x/wish/124558447 Scientific notation https://padlet.com/sabahere/bo6bznbagi0x/wish/125074822 My first example is the size of an atom. An atom ranges from 0.1-0.5 nanometers, and would be 1*10^-10 or 5*10^-10.

Scientists say that there are about 10 trillion galaxies and approximately 100 billion stars in    a galaxy. Multiplying that will give us 1 followed by 24 zeros, or 1*10^24.

It was worth 2073.54 billion US dollars. This can be simplified into 2073*10^9. But that isn't in scientific notation. In scientific notation, it would be 2.1*10^12.
