What is a teranewton used for?

A teranewton measures extremely large forces such as those in planetary-scale gravitational calculations or large-impact simulations.

Why convert teranewtons to centinewtons?

Converting allows expressing very large forces in a much smaller unit for detailed precision analysis and calibration of sensitive instruments.

Can large conversions cause issues?

Yes, due to the scale difference, very large numbers may cause computational overflow or precision loss in some software or hardware.
