What is a terapascal used for?

A terapascal quantifies extremely large pressures found in high-pressure physics, shock compression, and planetary interior studies.

Why convert from terapascal to millibar?

Converting helps relate enormous scientific pressure values to a common meteorological pressure unit for easier comparison and analysis.

Is millibar suitable for very high pressures?

Millibar is primarily used for atmospheric pressure and may produce very large numbers when converting from terapascal, limiting its practical use in high-pressure contexts.
