Given:
Distance in meters of the Star VEGA from Earth = 239,000,000,000,000,000
Convert in Scientific Notation.
In converting a number into scientific notation, count the number of zeros, and the non zero numbers excluding the final number.
239,000,000,000,000,000 has a total of 15 zeros and 2 non zero numbers, therefore the magnitude or degree that it will be raised to is 17.
