What is an exanewton used for?

An exanewton is an SI-derived unit used to measure extremely large forces, often in astrophysics and planetary science for phenomena like gravitational interactions between massive celestial bodies.

Why convert exanewtons to ton-force (short)?

Converting exanewtons to ton-force (short) helps translate very large forces from scientific contexts into customary engineering units commonly used in industries such as heavy machinery and shipping.

Are there any limitations when converting such large force units?

Yes, the conversion yields very large numbers that may exceed typical industrial ranges, and variations in gravitational values between unit systems can impact calculation precision.
