What is an attojoule used to measure?

An attojoule measures extremely small energy amounts, such as energies of single photons and electronic transitions at atomic and nanoscale.

Why convert attojoules to millijoules?

Converting from attojoules to millijoules helps represent quantum or nanoscale energies in familiar units used in engineering and laboratory measurements.

Is this conversion suitable for large-scale energy values?

No, the conversion is intended for very small-scale energies, not for large-scale energy measurements.
