Conversion Formula
hPa = TPa × 10000000000
About Terapascals
A terapascal (TPa) = 10¹² Pa = 10 Mbar - pressures in giant planet cores and at the frontier of high-energy-density physics. Jupiter's centre: ~40-70 TPa; Saturn's: ~10 TPa. Earth's inner core: ~0.35 TPa; core-mantle boundary: ~0.14 TPa. Laser-driven ramp and shock compression at NIF approaches TPa regimes for fusion implosion capsule research. Hydrogen is predicted to become a superconducting metal at ~0.5-5 TPa. Understanding TPa equations of state is critical for modelling exoplanet interiors. 1 TPa = 10¹² Pa.
About Hectopascals
A hectopascal (hPa) = 100 Pa = 1 mbar - the WMO-official SI-compatible meteorological pressure unit since 1986, replacing millibar with no numerical change. All modern surface observations (METAR, SYNOP), digital barometers, aviation weather, and weather apps report in hPa. QNH altimeter settings outside North America are in hPa. ICAO standard sea-level pressure is 1013.25 hPa. Continental high-pressure record exceeds 1084 hPa; Typhoon Tip (1979) holds the low record at ~870 hPa. 1 hPa = 100 Pa.
