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.
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.
