What is a teranewton used to measure?

A teranewton measures extremely large forces, such as planetary-scale gravitational interactions or huge impact simulations.

Why convert teranewtons to dekanewtons?

Converting helps relate very large forces to smaller, more manageable engineering-scale forces for better understanding and comparison.

Can I use dekanewtons and teranewtons interchangeably?

No; due to their vastly different magnitudes, these units are typically used in different contexts and are not interchangeable.
