What does 1 calorie (IT)/second represent?

It represents the rate of energy transfer of one International Table calorie per second, used to express thermal power in calorie-based systems.

What is an exawatt used for?

An exawatt measures extremely large power rates, often used in planetary science, astrophysics, and scenarios involving massive energy flows.

Why are converted values so small when changing calorie (IT)/second to exawatt?

Because calorie (IT)/second is a small unit and exawatt denotes extremely large power rates, resulting values are correspondingly very small.
