In the metric (or SI) system, where units are related to one another by powers of 10, scientific notation makes conversions incredibly simple. However, if you are unfortunate enough to live in a country which still uses the Imperial system (or a variant) scientific notation is of hardly any help: converting 3.5*10^3 yards to miles is a difficult calculation.

Scientific notation for metric units?
Scientific notation is scientific notation - whether it is used for metric units, Imperial units or simply for numbers.
Scientific notation for nanogramml?
By changing the measurement units to a nanogram you would not require scientific notation. 1 nanogram = 1*10-9 gram or 1*10-12 kilogram
What is used to convert between units?
Conversion factors (equivalence between two measures) are used to convert between units
Why is the meters or centimeters a poor choice?
In general, they are not.If you are thinking of the distance from the earth to the sun, then there are more convenient units. Even so, using scientific notation, that is a trivial problem.In general, they are not.If you are thinking of the distance from the earth to the sun, then there are more convenient units.

What is the formula to calculate density and units?
Density = Mass/Volume. Conversion between units will depend on what the two units are.
