What does picogray per second measure?

Picogray per second measures very low absorbed radiation dose rates, representing how radiation energy is deposited over time at extremely small scales.

Why convert picogray/second to teragray/second?

Converting from picogray/second to teragray/second helps relate low-level environmental or radiobiological dose rates to ultra-high dose rates encountered in extreme radiation research and testing.

Are there challenges in converting between these units?

Yes, due to the vast 10^24 difference in scale, the resulting values may be extremely small or large, which can complicate interpretation and measurement.
