What does teragray measure in radiation absorbed dose?

Teragray (TGy) is an SI unit representing an extremely large absorbed dose equal to 10^12 gray, used mainly in high-energy or theoretical radiation contexts.

Why convert teragray to nanogray?

Converting from teragray to nanogray helps express huge radiation doses on a very fine scale, enabling comparisons with low-level environmental or calibration doses.

Are teragray and nanogray used in similar environments?

No, teragray is applied in extreme radiation scenarios like nuclear accidents or astrophysics, while nanogray measures very low dose levels typical in environmental monitoring.
