What does one deciwatt represent?

A deciwatt equals one tenth of a watt and measures small power levels like those in sensors or low-power devices.

When should I convert deciwatt values to terawatts?

When you need to scale small power measurements up to very large regional, global, or astrophysical power levels for comparison or analysis.

Why do the converted values become so small?

Because a terawatt is 10^12 watts, converting from deciwatts, which are much smaller, results in tiny values often requiring scientific notation.
