What does an attojoule measure?

An attojoule quantifies extremely small amounts of energy, especially at atomic and molecular scales and in quantum devices.

Where is the therm (US) unit commonly used?

The therm (US) is mainly used in the United States for natural gas measurement, heating energy billing, and industrial energy assessments.

Why are conversion results from attojoule to therm (US) so small?

Because attojoules represent ultra-small energies and therms are large heat energy units, the conversion yields extremely small decimal values.
