What is the relation between newton per square meter and terapascal?

One newton per square meter equals one trillionth (1 × 10⁻¹²) of a terapascal.

When should I use terapascal instead of pascal?

Terapascal is used to represent extremely large pressures as found in high-pressure physics or planetary science, rather than everyday pressure measurements.

Is this conversion suitable for typical atmospheric pressure readings?

No, atmospheric pressures are better expressed in pascals, kilopascals, or megapascals since terapascal is too large for such applications.
