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.

Pound-Force [lbf]

Pound-force (lbf) is a unit of force commonly used in the United States and some other countries using the Imperial system.

It is defined as the force exerted by gravity on a mass of one pound (lb) under standard Earth gravity.
Mathematically:

1 \text{ lbf} = 1 \text{ lb} \times 9.80665 \text{ m/s}^2 \approx 4.44822 \text{ newtons}

Pound-force is widely used in engineering, mechanics, and everyday contexts in countries that use Imperial or US customary units.
It measures force similarly to how newtons do in the metric system but based on pounds instead of kilograms.
