The distance that light travels in one year is approximately 9,460,000,000,000 kilometers. in scientific notation, this would be expressed as: 9.46 x 10^?

Explanation:

A mathematical expression that is used for the representation of a decimal number between 1 to 10 raised to the power of 10. As a result, a scientific notation will be written using less digits.

For example, 9,460,000,000,000 kilometers can be written is scientific notation as follows.

                  km

So, when we remove the decimal then we get the number which is equal to 9,460,000,000,000.

Therefore, we can conclude that the scientific notation of 9,460,000,000,000 km is km.
