As far as it is possible to tell, neither of the two are in scientific notation.
As far as we know, we only use scientific notation here on Earth, for the computing of very large numbers (like the distance between planets) or very small numbers (like the radius of a hydrogen atom).
The average distance from Earth to the Sun is approximately 1.496 x 10^8 kilometers.
From earth to the moon.

93,000,000 miles,or in Scientific Notation:9.3 *10 miles.
The average distance between Earth and Mars is about 225 million kilometers. In scientific notation, this distance is approximately 2.25 x 10^8 kilometers.
The average distance between the Earth and the Moon is about 238,855 miles. In mathematical form, this distance is expressed as 238,855 miles.

Earth, by far.
For all practical purposesUranus is just as far from Earth's moon as it is from the Earth.
The average distance from Earth to the Sun is approximately 1.496 x 10^8 kilometers.
"Distance" means how far two object are from one another. In this case, how far the Moon is from Earth, or how far the Sun is from Earth.
We have been on the moon and it has made no difference to us so far. However if we were to be able to economically survive on the moon it is reasonable to think that in an alien environment scientific discoveries could be made that would not have happened on the Earth.
It is not necessary, but it is far easier to work with very small or very large numbers if you use scientific notation. For example, to calculate gravitational attraction between the earth and some object, you need to use the mass of the earth in the equation. It is far simpler to use 5.972*104 kilograms rather than 5,972,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 kilograms. It is easy to make a mistake in the long form.
The Moon is tidally locked to Earth; the Moon's "day" and the Moon's month are the same length. So the "near side" of the Moon always faces the Earth, and the "far side" always faces away from Earth.
