Some numbers are so huge (like the mass of the sun=1.98892 × 1030 kilograms) that writing a number with thirty or so digits is difficult to manage. There are some numbers so small that we have the same problem (the mass of an electron is 9.10938188 × 10-31 kilograms). Scientific notation is actually clearer and simpler to write in these two cases.
Scientific notation is important IF you are going to understand some things in the universe. Some authors use Scientific notation to discuss the topics they are writing about. You will not understand what those authors are talking about without understanding Scientific notation.
