What is a terameter used to measure?

A terameter is used to express very large distances, such as those between planets in the solar system.

Why convert terameters to femtometers?

This conversion helps compare extremely large astronomical distances with extremely small nuclear-scale distances for scientific and theoretical research.

How is the conversion between terameters and femtometers done?

By multiplying the terameter value by 10^27, since 1 terameter equals 10^27 femtometers.
