You are NOT using scientific notation correctly. When you say 22^4 you are saying 22*22*22*22 which equals 234,256. What you should say is Earth to Moon distance = 22 * 10^4 miles. (To be really precise, it should be expressed as 2.2 * 10^5 miles).
Earth to Neptune distance = 2.2 * 10^8 miles.
2.2 * 10^8 / 2.2 * 10^5 = 1,000. So the Earth to Neptune distance is 1,000 times greater than the Earth to Moon distance.
