(meteorobs) Re: urgent astronomy question
Is there anyone (there must be!) out there who can answer the following
question:
In my teaching materials, the letter "e" appears several times in
quantitative values concerning the planets of our solar system. I had
assumed that it represented a constant value for Earth, multiplied by
whatever numeric value. For example, I have information on the masses of
two planets: #1 = .98e+23; #2 = 1.08e+23
What does this mean? I'm at a loss.
Thank-you,
M. Wittmeier
