Motivational questions
• For very large quantities such as the distance between the earth and
the sun (384400000 m) or very small quantities such as the size of
atoms (order of 0.0000000001 m) we can’t keep writing the numbers
in such a way because this causes difficulty in reading or recognizing
the numbers.
384400000 m 3.844 × m
