Scientific notation is a way to express very large or very small numbers. For very large exponent is positive; for very small exponent is negative. For example, 1,000,000 is 1 x 10 to the plus 6 exponent; 0.000001 is 1 x 10 to the negative 6 exponent

Scientific notation can use both positive and negative exponents. And scientific notation doesn't consist solely of exponents. There is also a base, and a mantissa.
