What does one teragray represent in terms of energy absorbed?

One teragray equals 10^12 gray, where gray measures one joule of energy absorbed per kilogram of matter.

Why convert teragray to gigagray units?

Converting to gigagray expresses extremely large absorbed doses in smaller numerical values, aiding clarity in scientific and engineering analyses.

Are these units used in medical radiation dosing?

No, teragray and gigagray denote extraordinarily large doses unsuitable for typical medical or environmental dose assessments.
