What does one terastoke equal in square centimeters per second?

One terastoke equals one trillion (1,000,000,000,000) square centimeters per second.

In what fields is the terastoke unit commonly used?

Terastokes are often used in astrophysics, geophysics, rheology, and large-scale fluid dynamics research.

Why might terastokes be impractical for everyday measurements?

Because terastokes represent extremely large viscosity values, they are usually too large for typical fluid mechanics or industrial applications.
