What does one ton (explosives) represent?

It represents the approximate energy released by detonating one metric ton of TNT, standardized as about 4.184 × 10^9 joules.

Why convert ton (explosives) to watt-hour?

To compare large-scale explosive energy with electrical energy units used in power generation, consumption, and storage.

Is the conversion exact?

No, ton (explosives) is approximate because TNT equivalence depends on explosive type and conditions.
