Orders of magnitude refer to the class or scale of a quantity, typically measured in powers of ten. When we express a number in scientific notation, we can categorize it into orders of magnitude based on its exponent. Each increase of one in the exponent represents a tenfold increase in the quantity. For example: - \(10^0 = 1\) is the first order of magnitude. - \(10^1 = 10\) is the second order of magnitude.
