0.0000006709 in scientific notation is written as 6.709 x 10^-7.

To convert the given number to scientific notation, we count the number of places we move the decimal point to the right until we reach a number between 1 and 10. In this case, we move the decimal point 7 places to the right, resulting in the number 6.709.

To represent this shift in scientific notation, we write 6.709 x 10^-7, where the exponent -7 represents the number of places the decimal point was shifted.
