A terameter is an SI length unit equal to 10^12 metres, used to express very large distances such as those in astronomy.

What is a twip used for?

A twip is a typographic unit equal to 1/20 of a point or 1/1440 inch, commonly used to specify fine layout and spacing in text formatting and GUIs.

Why convert terameters to twips?

Conversion is useful for bridging astronomical distances with precise typographic or layout measurements in specialized documentation or software.
