What does one newton represent?

One newton is the force needed to accelerate a one kilogram mass by one meter per second squared.

When should I use teranewtons instead of newtons?

Teranewtons are used to express forces of extremely large magnitude, such as planetary-scale forces or very large engineered loads.

How do I convert newtons to teranewtons?

Multiply the number of newtons by 1e-12 to get the equivalent force in teranewtons.
