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.

Scientific Notation : 2.39 x 10^17
