What does the Rydberg constant represent?

It is a fundamental physical constant related to atomic spectral lines and defines energy scales in atomic physics and quantum mechanics.

What is a ton (explosives) unit?

A ton (explosives) measures energy from detonating one metric ton of TNT, commonly used to express explosive yield.

Why are conversions from Rydberg constant to ton (explosives) so small?

Because the Rydberg constant represents a tiny quantum energy, converting it to large-scale explosive energy units results in extremely small numbers.
