To convert the height of Ali's farmhouse from meters to centimeters, we can use the conversion factor that 1 meter is equal to 100 centimeters.

Given:

Height in meters = \( 2.307 \times 10^8 \) meters

To convert this to centimeters:

\[ \text{Height in centimeters} = 2.307 \times 10^8 , \text{meters} \times 100 , \text{centimeters/meter} \]

\[ = 2.307 \times 10^8 \times 10^2 , \text{centimeters} \]

\[ = 2.307 \times 10^{10} , \text{centimeters} \]

Therefore, the height of Ali's farmhouse in centimeters is:

\[ \boxed{2.307 \times 10^{10}} \text{ centimeters} \]
