Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is a therm?
-
A therm is a non-SI energy unit commonly used for natural gas, defined as 100,000 British thermal units (BTU) or approximately 1.055×10^8 joules.
-
What is an attojoule [aJ]?
-
An attojoule is an SI-derived unit equal to 10^-18 joules, used to express very small energy values at atomic and nanoscale levels.
-
Why convert therm to attojoule?
-
This conversion helps relate large-scale natural gas energy quantities to tiny energy units important in scientific and nanoscale measurements.
Key Terminology
-
Therm
