What is an attonewton?

An attonewton is an SI unit of force equal to 10⁻¹⁸ newtons, used for measuring extremely small forces at atomic and sub-atomic levels.

What does a teranewton represent?

A teranewton equals 10¹² newtons and is used to express extremely large forces such as those in planetary-scale gravitational interactions.

Why convert between attonewtons and teranewtons?

Conversion helps bridge force measurements across vastly different scales, useful in scientific fields like atomic physics and astrophysics.
