• Scientific notation is used by the astronomers for their calculation of distance, speed, revolution of the planets around the sun.
• The meteorologic department who have to calculate the changing weather.
• Electrical engineers for their trigger operations which has ten thousand operations per second.
• The players of Chess games to see the number of all possible games.
• Physicists use it to measure the distance between particles.
• Geologists use it to measure the age of rocks.
The uses of scientific notation in chemistry are to compute very large or very small numbers.
Scientific notation is a short hand way of expressing numbers that are very large or very small such as 10,000,000 = 1.0*107 or 0.0000001 = 1.0*10-7
They don't usually.
It is not. "Scientific notation" uses a base of 10. The correct notation would be 1.251 x 10^8
Scientific notation gives a compact notation, which is especially useful for writing down - and doing calculations with - very large, and very small, numbers.

The practical uses of scientific notation are to compute very large or very small numbers.
Because it uses fewer digits as for example 9,000,000,000,000,000 in scientific notation is 9.0*10^15
Scientific notation takes one digit before the decimal point and uses multiples of 10 to represent the rest of the digits. In this case, scientific notation is not really practical. The answer is 1.003 x 101
Dealing with numbers that are very large or very small.
Scientific notation is a way to write very large or very small numbers using exponents. For example 2000 is 2x103 . We can do the same thing with negative exponents and write very small numbers like 1/2000 which is 2x10-3 . So one real life use of exponents in in scientific notation.
In the same way as any body else because of the vast distances in space it is more realistic to write out numbers in scientific notation which uses less digits but has the same value of very very large numbers as for example 1,000,000,000,000,000 is 1.0*10^15 in scientific notation.
Yes, marine biology often uses scientific notation to represent numbers that are very large or very small, such as for measuring population sizes, ocean depths, or molecular concentrations. This notation helps simplify calculations and data representation in scientific research.
