Answer:

Scientific Notation is so useful in many ways

It makes it easier to deal with because the long numbers are converted into smaller numbers. Like for example, 0.000000000000000000000000000000000000000000045 is converted into 4.5*10^44. Isn't that MUCH MORE simpler?!?!??!

It is also used to find masses, for example, like some metals or substances that have a really smaller mass.
