Petanewtons
A petanewton (PT) is equal to 1015 newtons. It’s an extremely large unit of force, mostly theoretical, used in astrophysics or high-energy physics to describe forces acting at a massive scale, such as between planets or in star formation.
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.
