What does one teraliter represent?

One teraliter equals 10^12 liters or 10^9 cubic metres, used for expressing very large volumes like lakes or reservoirs.

Where are nanoliters commonly used?

Nanoliter units are common in microfluidics, molecular biology assays, and precision droplet measurements in printing and manufacturing.

Is this conversion practical for everyday use?

No, converting between teraliters and nanoliters is mainly theoretical due to the massive difference in scale and limited direct application.
