What is one teraliter equal to in liters?

One teraliter equals 1,000,000,000,000 liters, representing a very large volume.

What kinds of volumes are measured in picoliters?

Picoliters quantify extremely small liquid volumes, such as droplets in microfluidics and cell biology measurements.

Why is converting between teraliters and picoliters challenging?

Because the volume difference is extremely large, conversions require careful handling using scientific notation to avoid errors.
