What does the nanojoule measure?

A nanojoule (nJ) is an SI-derived unit representing very small amounts of energy, equal to one billionth of a joule.

What is a ton (explosives)?

A ton (explosives) is a unit expressing energy released by detonating one metric ton of TNT, standardized at about 4.184 billion joules.

Why are values so small when converting nanojoules to tons (explosives)?

Because nanojoules are extremely small units of energy compared to the very large energy scale represented by tons (explosives), resulting in tiny converted values.
