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.
Kilonewtons
A kilonewton (kN) is equal to 1,000 newtons. It is often used in engineering to express larger forces, such as the load-bearing capacity of materials or the thrust produced by rockets. Kilonewtons make it easier to work with the typically larger forces involved in construction, aerospace, and structural analysis.
