Distance is not calculated any differently. Same calculations, just you are probably using really large or really small numbers.
In scientific notation, distance is calculated by multiplying a number between 1 and 10 (known as the coefficient) by a power of 10 (known as the exponent). The exponent represents the number of places the decimal point is moved to the right (positive exponent) or to the left (negative exponent). This notation is commonly used to represent large or small distances, such as in astronomy or Nanotechnology, where writing out the entire number would be cumbersome.
Proxima Centauri is a star and there is no scientific notation for a star. There will be scientific notations for the values of its distance, its size, its age, luminosity, magnitude and so on but the question is not about any of them!
1.082 x 10^8
The average distance is 3.844*10^5 kilometres.
It is 2.4*1019 kilometres away.
The mean distance is 3.844*10^5 kilometres.
The average distance is 58 million miles. This is expressed in scientific notation as: 5.8e+7 miles.
It is about: 9.3*10^7 miles in scientific notation
It is about 240,000 miles which in scientific notation is: 2.4*10^5
Yes. ^_^

368,000 in Scientific Notation = 3.68 x 105

Distance in space is measured in 'light years' or in 'scientific notation'
