To do: To express the number appearing in the above statements in standard form.
Solution:
$(a)$. The distance between Earth and Moon $=384,000,000\ m$.
$=384\times100000\ m$
$=3.84\times10000000$
$=3.84\times10^8\ m$
$(b)$. Speed of light in vacuum $=300,000,000\ m/s$.
$=3\times100000000$
$=3\times10^8\ m/s$
$(c)$. Diameter of the Earth $=1,27,56,000\ m$.
$12756\times1000$
$=1.2756\times10^7\ m$
$(d)$. Diameter of the Sun $=1,400,000,000\ m$.
$=14\ \times100000000$
$=1.4\times10^9$
$(e)$. In a galaxy there are stars on an average $=100,000,000,000$
$=1\times100000000000$
$=1\times10^{11}$
$(f)$. The age universe is estimated to be about $=12,000,000,000$ years.
$=12\times1000000000$
$=1.2\times10^{10}$
$(g)$. The distance of the Sun from the center of the Milky Way Galaxy is estimated to be $=300,000,000,000,000,000,000\ m$.
$=3\times100000000000000000000$
$=3\times10^{20}\ m$
$(h)$. The number of molecules contained in a drop of water weighing $1.8\ gm=60,230,000,000,000,000,000,000$.
$=6.023\times10^{22}$
(i) The standard form of the number appearing in the given statement is $1.353 \times 10^9$ cubic km.
$(j)$. The population of India in March 2001 was $=1,027,000,000$
$=1.027\times10^9$
