Why write numbers in scientific notation Understanding physics will help you describe in great detail how the world works. However, the characteristics of the world span an enormous range of numbers. The mass of an electron is 0.000000000000000000000000000000911 kg (incredibly tiny!). The mass of the Sun is 1,989,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 kg (incredibly massive!). If you had to write, interpret, or use these numbers as written, you could very easily end up making a minor math error. Scientific notation was invented to easily express numbers that are too large or too small to be conveniently written in decimal form. The advantages of scientific notation are it 1) is compact, 2) helps articulate significant figures, and 3) works with numbers of any size. The traditional format for numbers written in scientific notation is m × 10 n is where m is a number between 1 and 10 and n is an integer (either positive or negative). For the examples above, the mass of an…
