Why are centinewtons and exanewtons used for different scales?

Centinewtons measure very small forces often used in precise mechanical contexts, while exanewtons quantify extremely large forces found in astrophysics and planetary science.

Is it common to convert centinewtons directly to exanewtons?

No, direct conversions are rare and mainly used for theoretical comparisons between microscopic forces and cosmic scale phenomena.

What does 1 centinewton equal in exanewtons?

1 centinewton is equal to 1×10⁻²⁰ exanewtons, reflecting the huge difference between these units.
