The "e" just lets you know that it's scientific notation.

Answer:

E stands for the scientific notation for "×10^".

Explanation:

Consider the provided number,

1.89E12

E notation is the same as the scientific notation the only difference is the letter e is substituted for "× 10^".

Here, the E12 means
10^(12)

The provided number can be written as:


1.89* 10^(12)

Hence, E stands for the scientific notation for "×10^".
