What is a twip used for?

A twip is used primarily for precise typographic spacing, layout measurements, and positioning elements in rich text and graphical user interface environments.

Why convert twips to petameters?

Converting twips to petameters is useful for bridging very small layout units with extremely large astronomical distances in specialized scientific or theoretical contexts.

Are these conversions practical for everyday use?

No, because the scale difference causes very small values that have limited practical use outside computational or theoretical scenarios.
