Kilogram-Force [kgf]

Kilogram-force (kgf) is a unit of force based on the force exerted by one kilogram of mass under standard gravity.

It is defined as the force exerted by a mass of 1 kilogram under Earth's gravitational acceleration (9.80665 m/s²).
Mathematically:

1 \text{ kgf} = 1 \text{ kg} \times 9.80665 \text{ m/s}^2 = 9.80665 \text{ N}

Although not an SI unit, kilogram-force is commonly used in engineering and industries to express force more intuitively related to mass.

Example: A force of 10 kgf corresponds to approximately 98.07 newtons.

Teranewton [TN]

Teranewton is a large unit of force in the International System of Units (SI).

1 teranewton (TN) equals $10^{12}$ newtons.
It is used to express extremely large forces, such as those found in planetary science, large-scale engineering, or astrophysics.
To give perspective:

1 \text{ TN} = 1,000,000,000,000 \text{ N} = 10^{12} \text{ N}

Teranewtons are useful for describing massive forces far beyond typical human-made scales but smaller than petanewtons or exanewtons.
