Answer:

(i) The height of the Mount Everest is 8848 m.
In standard form, we have:
8848=8.848×1000 m=8.848×103m.
(ii) The speed of light is 300000000 m/s.
In standard form, we have: 
300000000=3×100000000 m/s=3×108 m/s
(iii) The Sun-Earth distance is 149600000000 m.
In standard form, we have: 149600000000=1496×100000000=1.496×1000×100000000=1.496×103×108=1.496×1011m

Answer:

Mass of the Earth = 5.97×1024 kg
Now, 5.97×1024=5.97×10(2+22)=5.97×102×1022=597×1022
So, the mass of the Earth can also be written as 597×1022 kg.

Mass of the Moon = 7.35×1022 kg
Sum of the masses of the Earth and the Moon:=597×1022+7.35×1022=597+7.35×1022=604.35×1022 kg=6.0435×100×1022=6.0435×102×1022=6.0435×10(2+22)=6.0435×1024 kg
