What does one therm represent in terms of energy?

A therm is a non-SI energy unit mainly used for natural gas and is defined as 100,000 British thermal units, approximately equal to 1.055×10⁸ joules.

Why convert therms to microjoules?

Converting therms to microjoules helps represent large natural gas energy amounts in very small SI units used in scientific and engineering contexts.

Can the therm unit value vary internationally?

Yes, the exact joule equivalent of a therm can change slightly based on different BTU definitions and reference standards used by various countries or utilities.
