Powers of Ten
Numbers in astronomy are often much larger than we are used to dealing with in daily life.
We often express them in terms of powers of ten.
Example: 1 000 000 000 = 109

Scientific Notation
Scientific notation may be used to write numbers in terms of powers of ten.
Example:m111050.1
This coefficient must have an absolute value between 1 and 10. All significant digits must be shown.

Large Numbers
To write a large number in scientific notation, count how many places to the left you have to move the decimal until it is after the first non-zero.
This is your power of ten.

Small Numbers
For small numbers, you count places to the right. This is your negative power of ten.

Other Units
Sometimes astronomical numbers are given with reference to a standard.
Example: 1 Solar Mass = 1.99 x 1030 kgThe star Rigel has a mass
of 3.58 x 1031 kg or 18 Solar Masses.

Astronomical Units
Distances in the solar system are often even in Astronomical Units (AU).
1 AU is the distance from the Earth to the Sun.= 1.50 x 1011 m

Astronomical Units
What is the distance from Mars to the Sun in m?
1.52(1.50 x 1011 m) = 2.28 x 1011 m

Light Years
Distances outside the solar system are often given in light years.
1 light year is the distance light travels in a year
= 9.46 x 1015 m

Addendum
To convert km to m, add 3 to the exponent.(Remember that 103 = 1000.)
1.50 x 108 km = 1.50 x 1011 m
(To convert m to km, subtract 3 from the exponent.)
