How far away is the nearest Star besides our Sun (Proxima Centauri)?
40 000 000 000 000 km(13 zeros)
This number is written in decimal notation. When numbers get this large, it is easier to write
them in scientific notation.

A number is expressed in scientific notation when it is
in the forma x 10n
where a is between 1 and 10and n is an integer (neg. and
pos. whole number)

Significant Digits and Scientific NotationWhen trying to determine the number of
significant digits within scientific notation we leave it the way it is and follow the same rules and pretend the x 10n is not there.
E.g. 0.01130x10-4 has ___ significant digits5.3x1015 has ___ significant digits
