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 Standard Atmospheres

The standard atmosphere (atm) = exactly 101,325 Pa - defined by the 10th CGPM (1954) as the reference air pressure at sea level. Used to define STP (0°C and 1 atm) for gas law and thermochemistry. Chemical equilibrium constants (Kp), Henry's law solubility, and thermodynamic tables are tabulated at 1 atm. ISA aviation standard: sea-level 1 atm / 15°C, pressure halving every ~5.5 km. Diving physics: +1 atm per 10 m depth (fresh water) so 30 m = 4 atm absolute. Diamond formation in Earth's mantle: ~50,000 atm. 1 atm = 101,325 Pa.
