What units does this tool convert between?

This tool converts force values from petanewtons (PT) to exanewtons (EN), both SI-derived units representing very large forces.

Why convert petanewtons to exanewtons?

Converting to exanewtons helps simplify the expression and comparison of extremely large forces found in astrophysics and planetary science.

Are these units used in everyday force measurements?

No, petanewton and exanewton units are typically used only for extraordinarily large forces in theoretical or scientific contexts, not for everyday engineering.
