Answer to Question 1

False

Answer to Question 2

Astronomy is the science of big numbers that are used to describe the Universe.Rather than writing out large numbers, it is more convenient to write them in scientific notation. Scientific notation is nothing more than a simple way to express numbers without writing a great many zeros. For example, in scientific notation, you can write 380,000 as 3.8  105.
