There are 2 values of scientific notation in the number given and they are:- 437100 = 4.371*105 in scientific notation 0.00000000006 = 6.0*10-11 in scientific notation
Proxima Centauri is a star and there is no scientific notation for a star. There will be scientific notations for the values of its distance, its size, its age, luminosity, magnitude and so on but the question is not about any of them!
You use scientific notation when it comes to "too large" or "too small" numbers. The reasons why using scientific notation is useful are that it saves time to do the computation and also that it makes people's life easier to compute values instead of writing them out completely!
It is not always necessary. Scientific notation (also called standard form or exponential notation) is a way of writing numbers that accommodates values too large or small to be conveniently written in standard decimal notation.
You just did, 6.028. Scientific notation is a number between one and less than ten and 10 with exponent + values larger than ten and = values for smaller than smaller than 1.
