What is a barleycorn?

A barleycorn is a traditional British unit of length equal to one third of an inch, originally based on the length of a grain of barley.

What does terameter measure?

The terameter is an SI-derived unit equal to one trillion metres, used to express extremely large distances such as those between planets.

Is this conversion useful for everyday measurements?

No, converting barleycorns to terameters is mainly used for historical research or astronomical comparisons and not for routine measurements.
