What is the conversion rate from teragrams to exagrams?

One teragram equals 0.000001 exagrams.

In which fields is this conversion commonly used?

It is used in environmental science, atmospheric studies, global carbon accounting, astronomy, and planetary science.

Why might exagrams be unsuitable for smaller masses?

Because exagrams represent extremely large masses, using them for smaller values can cause loss of precision and may be impractical.
