What does one microjoule represent?

One microjoule is one millionth of a joule, representing a very small quantity of energy used in scientific and engineering measurements.

What is a megawatt-hour used for?

A megawatt-hour represents the energy of one megawatt sustained for one hour, commonly used in reporting power plant energy or grid-scale storage capacity.

Why are the conversion results so small?

Because microjoules measure extremely tiny energy amounts and megawatt-hours represent very large energy quantities, the conversion yields minuscule values.
