(a) The distance between Earth and Moon = 384,000,000 m

$=384\times 1000000$

$=3.84 \times 100\times 1000000$

$=3.84 \times 10^8m$

(b) Speed of light in vacuum =300,000,000 m/s.

$=3\times 100000000$

$=3\times 10^8$

(c) Diameter of the Earth = 1,27,56,000 m.

$=12756\times 1000$

$=1.2756\times 10000\times 1000$

$=1.2756\times 10^7m$

(d) Diameter of the Sun = 1,400,000,000 m.

$=14\times 100000000$

$=14\times 10^8m$

$=1.4\times 10^9m$

(e) In a galaxy there are on an average = 100,000,000,000 stars.

$=1\times 100000000000$

$=1\times 10^{11}$

(f) The universe is estimated to be about= 12,000,000,000 years old.

$=1.2\times 10000000000$

$=1.2\times 10^{10}years$

(g) The distance of the Sun from the centre of the Milky Way Galaxy is estimated = 300,000,000,000,000,000,000 m.

$=3\times 100000000000000000000000000000$

$=3 \times 10^{19}$

(h) 60,230,000,000,000,000,000,000 molecules are contained in a drop of water weighing 1.8 gm.

60,230,000,000,000,000,000,000

$= 6023\times 10000,000,000,000,000,000$

$= 6023\times 10^{19}$

(i) The earth has 1,353,000,000 cubic km of seawater.

$=1.353\times 1000000000$

$=1.353\times 10^9 km^3$

(j) The population of India was about 1,027,000,000 in March 2001.

$=1.027\times 1000000000$

$=1.027\times 10^9$
