What does milligray measure?

Milligray measures absorbed radiation dose, representing one thousandth of a gray, used commonly in medical and environmental radiation contexts.

When is the teragray unit used?

Teragray is used to quantify extremely large absorbed doses in theoretical, nuclear, and astrophysical radiation environments.

Why do converted values from milligray to teragray become very small?

Because 1 teragray equals 10^12 grays, converting from the much smaller milligray results in extremely small fractional values.
