What does a calorie (nutritional) represent in this converter?

It represents the kilocalorie, a unit of energy used in nutrition equal to 1,000 small calories and defined as 4,184 joules.

What is the Rydberg constant used for?

It is a fundamental physical constant related to atomic spectral lines, used in spectroscopy, quantum mechanics, and atomic physics to understand energy transitions.

Why is the conversion factor so large?

Because nutritional Calories measure macroscopic energy amounts, whereas the Rydberg constant corresponds to very small atomic-scale energies, leading to a significant numerical difference.
