Why convert from terameters to furlongs?

This conversion helps relate very large astronomical distances expressed in terameters to more traditional and culturally familiar units like furlongs used in horse racing and historical land measurement.

A terameter (Tm) is an SI-derived unit of length equal to one trillion metres (10^12 metres), commonly used to describe extremely large distances in planetary and astronomical contexts.

Where are furlongs still used today?

Furlongs are mainly used in horse racing distances, traditional surveying, historical maps, and some legal property descriptions.
