What does attojoule measure?

Attojoule (aJ) measures extremely small amounts of energy, typically on the atomic or molecular scale.

Why convert attojoules to therm?

Converting attojoules to therm helps relate tiny quantum energy amounts to the much larger energy units used in natural gas and industrial energy contexts.

Is the therm a precise unit?

The therm is approximate and can vary depending on the definition of British thermal units (BTU) and regional reference conditions.
