What does one terameter represent?

One terameter is an SI length unit equal to 10¹² meters, used to describe very large distances such as those in astronomy.

What is a picometer used for?

A picometer equals 10⁻¹² meters and is used to measure extremely small distances on atomic and molecular scales.

Why convert terameters to picometers?

This conversion helps relate vast astronomical distances to tiny atomic lengths for scientific calculations spanning large scale differences.
