Scientific Notation
This document provides instruction on scientific notation and powers of 10. It begins with examples of evaluating and multiplying numbers by powers of 10 by moving the decimal point left or right. It then discusses writing numbers in terms of powers of 10 based on the number of places the decimal point is from 1. The document also covers converting between standard notation and scientific notation. It applies these concepts to astronomy examples of writing planet diameters and distances in standard and scientific notation. Finally, it discusses comparing and ordering numbers expressed in scientific notation.
