A nanojoule is a unit of energy equal to one billionth of a joule, used to measure very small energy amounts such as laser pulses or microelectronic operations.

What does megawatt-hour represent?

A megawatt-hour measures energy as one megawatt of power sustained over one hour, commonly used to report large-scale power generation or consumption.

Why convert nanojoules to megawatt-hours?

Conversions help compare or aggregate minute energy amounts with much larger energy scales used in power generation, storage, and industrial contexts.
