The idea is to show very large numbers, or very small numbers (close to zero) in a concise notation. If you write down the mass of the Sun in kilograms, it is very cumbersome; also, you have to count the digits to compare with some other number (such as the mass of another star); with scientific notation, you can immediately compare two such numbers.
