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 Nanopascals
A nanopascal (nPa) is 10⁻⁹ Pa - the pressure scale of deep interplanetary space. LIGO and Virgo gravitational wave detectors must isolate mirror displacement signals against noise floors in the nanopascal regime. Low Earth orbit residual atmosphere is ~100 µPa; deep interplanetary space is ~1-10 nPa depending on solar wind activity. Thermospheric gas layers above 200 km altitude fall into the nPa-µPa range. Casimir force calculations and quantum vacuum fluctuation modelling also operate at nanopascal scales. 1 nPa = 10⁻⁹ Pa.
