About these units
Giganewtons
A giganewton (GN) is 109 newtons. It’s used to describe extremely large forces, such as the thrust produced by spacecraft or the force involved in geological phenomena like earthquakes. Giganewtons help put into perspective the vast power involved in significant natural or artificial forces.
Teranewtons
A teranewton (TN) is 1012 newtons, a very large force typically used to describe large-scale astronomical phenomena or the massive forces involved in planetary activities. It’s not commonly used in everyday applications but is useful for conveying the magnitude of cosmic events.
