What does 1 calorie (IT)/minute represent in power terms?

It represents the transfer of one international-table calorie of energy per minute, measuring heat or energy transfer rate.

Where is attowatt commonly used?

Attowatt is used to express extremely small power levels in scientific fields such as nanoelectronics, optical detectors, and experimental physics.

Why can converted values from cal/min to attowatt be very large?

Because attowatt measures power at an extremely small scale, converting from cal/min results in large numerical values reflecting the scale difference.
