What is a megaelectron-volt (MeV)?

It is a unit of energy equal to one million electronvolts, used mainly to measure energies at atomic and subatomic scales.

What does one therm (US) represent?

One therm (US) is a unit of heat energy equal to 100,000 British thermal units, commonly used for natural gas and heating energy.

Why convert MeV to therm (US)?

To relate atomic-scale energy data with practical heat energy units for applications in fields like natural gas billing and heating system assessments.
