What does deciwatt [dW] measure?

A deciwatt measures power equal to one tenth of a watt and is useful for expressing small power outputs, such as those of sensors or low-power electronics.

Where is petajoule/second [PJ/s] typically used?

Petajoule per second is used to describe very large-scale power flows, such as national energy outputs or planetary energy budgets.

Why convert from deciwatt to petajoule/second?

This conversion helps relate very small-scale power measurements to extremely large-scale power units for scientific comparison and multi-scale energy studies.
