What is a nanopascal used for?

A nanopascal is used to express extremely small pressures such as those found in space physics and ultra-high vacuum environments.

Where are terapascals typically applied?

Terapascals measure very large pressures encountered in high-pressure physics, planetary interiors, and shock-compression experiments.

Why do converted values become very small?

Because nanopascals and terapascals differ by 10^21 orders of magnitude, converting from nPa to TPa yields extremely small numbers.
