The “extreme” prefixes that are officially recognized are yocto, which indicates a

fraction equal to 10^-24, and yotta, which indicates a factor equal to 10²⁴. The

maximum distance from Earth to the sun is 152 100 000 km. Express this distance

in yoctometers (ym) and yottameters (Ym) in scientific notation.

Convert 152,100,000 km x 1,000 meters =152,100,000,000 meters.

152,100,000,000 x 10^24 =1.521 x 10^35 - yoctometers - distance to the Sun.

152,100,000,000 x 10^-24=1.521 x 10^-13 - yottameters - distance to the Sun.
