What Is the Typical Unit Used to Measure Bitcoin’s Hash Rate (E.g. Terahash, Petahash)?

Bitcoin's hash rate is typically measured in Exahashes per second (EH/s) or Zettahashes per second (ZH/s) due to the immense scale of the network's computational power. An Exahash is 10 to the power of 18 hashes, and a Zettahash is 10 to the power of 21 hashes.

These large units are necessary to represent the trillions of hashes performed every second by the global mining network.
