What is e8m/s ?

I'm reading physics and in the sound properties, I found one thing called "e8m/s",
m/s = metre (or meter) per second 😀
but what is the "e8" ?

During a thunderstorm, watch for a lightning strike. You see it first because light travels at a very high speed (3.00e8m/s), which is so fast it travels to your eye from the lightening almost instantly.

    e = exponent.

    e8 = 10^8 (10 to the power 8)
