it means there are 15 places after the decimal point
Power = 5 = exponent. That is, exponent = 5.
5E-5 is scientific notation representing the number 5 multiplied by 10 raised to the power of -5. This can be expanded to 0.00005 in standard decimal notation. The "E" in 5E-5 stands for exponent, indicating the number of decimal places the decimal point should be moved to the left (negative exponent) or right (positive exponent).
To change a number from standard to scientific notation, move the decimal point to create a number between 1 and 10. Count the number of places you moved the decimal point to get the power of 10. If you moved it to the left, the exponent is positive, and if you moved it to the right, the exponent is negative.
5.61 x 102 , you just move the decimal so that the original number is greater than or equal to one but less than 10 then multiply that by 10 to the power of the number of decimal places you had to move. If you moved the decimal to the left, the exponent is positive, if you moved the decimal to the right, the exponent is negative.

If you moved the decimal to the left, the exponent is positive, if you moved the decimal to the right, the exponent is negative.
You move the decimal point to the left - by as many digits as the absolute value of the exponent, e.g., if the exponent is -5, you move the decimal digit 5 positions to the left.
The exponent is 2 - from the SECOND power.
Count the number of spaces to move the decimal until the number has one (non-zero) digit to the left of the decimal. If the original number is larger than 1, then the exponent is positive, if smaller than 1 the exponent is negative. The exponent is that number of spaces that the decimal was moved. EX: 5100 = 5.1 x 102 and 0.00064 = 6.4 x 10-4
10-6 = (1/10)6 = 0.000 001

The exponent is TWO.
The exponent is five.
