What is an attojoule?

An attojoule is an SI-derived unit of energy equal to 10^-18 joules, used to express extremely small energy amounts relevant at atomic and molecular scales.

Why convert from attojoules to tons (explosives)?

Converting allows relating tiny quantum energy scales to large explosive energy equivalents for intuitive understanding and comparative analysis.

How to Convert from Attojoule [aJ] to Ton (explosives)?

Q: What does a ton (explosives) represent?

A ton (explosives), or ton of TNT, approximates the energy released by detonating one metric ton of TNT, standardized as about 4.184 × 10^9 joules.
