Scientific Notation helps scientists write big or small numbers in a shorthand way. For example, instead writing 5,230,000,000,000 it would just be easier to write 5.23 x 10 to the 14th power.

Because if they did not, then it would not have been called scientific notation!
scientists use scientific notation to reduce the number of zeros in very big and very small numbers. -----by khandkar.
Scientific notation is a special way of writing larger numbers that can be easily handled by scientists.
A notation is a system of written symbols used to represent numbers, amounts, or elements in something such as music or math. So scientific notation is the system used by scientists to simplify large numbers. And there isn't just scientific notation there's also stuff like electrical notation or musical notation. Hope this helps!
Scientific notation is the way that scientists easily handle very large numbers or very small numbers so i guess non scientific notation is the opposite.
