Guess these by writing down the numbers… How many stars do you think are in the Milky Way? How many kilometres away do you think our sun is from Earth? How long do you think it would take you to fly to Mars in a rocket? The sun is made of mainly hydrogen and helium gases. How heavy do you think a hydrogen atom is? What do you think the diameter of a helium atom is?

316,800 200 billion = 200,000,000,000 150 million = 150,000,000 About 220 days for a particular route. How many hours is This? 220 x 24 = 5280 hours = mins 0.00000000000000000000000167grams (3.s.f) Hydrogen is one-quarter the weight of a helium atom. 0.000000000001m

Compare the power to the number of zeros. Powers of 10 102 = 10 × 10 = 100 103 = 10 × 10 × 10 = 1,000 106 = 10 × 10 × 10 × 10 × 10 × 10 = 1,000,000 1012 = 1,000,000,000,000 5.34 × 1,000,000 = 5.34 × 106 Powers of 10 10-2 = 𝟏 𝟏𝟎×𝟏𝟎 = 𝟏 𝟏𝟎𝟎 10-3 = 𝟏 𝟏𝟎×𝟏𝟎×𝟏𝟎 = 𝟏 𝟏𝟎𝟎𝟎 10-6 = 𝟏 𝟏𝟎×𝟏𝟎×𝟏𝟎×𝟏𝟎×𝟏𝟎×𝟏𝟎 = 𝟏 𝟏,𝟎𝟎𝟎,𝟎𝟎𝟎 5.34 × 𝟏 𝟏𝟎×𝟏𝟎×𝟏𝟎×𝟏𝟎×𝟏𝟎×𝟏𝟎 = 5.34 × 10-6
