What is an erg per second?

An erg per second (erg/s) is a CGS unit of power equal to one erg of energy transferred each second, primarily used in astrophysics and legacy literature.

What does dekajoule per second measure?

Dekajoule per second (daJ/s) is an SI-derived power unit equal to 10 joules per second, commonly used to describe power rates in engineering and household devices.

Why convert from erg/second to dekajoule/second?

Converting from erg/second to dekajoule/second helps relate astrophysical or CGS-based power values to practical, widely used SI-derived units for easier interpretation and comparison.
