What does erg per second represent?

Erg per second is a CGS unit of power equal to one erg of energy transferred every second, often used in astrophysical contexts.

Why convert erg/s to exajoule/s?

The conversion helps relate small-scale power units to the immense energy flows encountered in planetary or stellar systems.

Is this conversion useful for everyday power measurements?

No, due to the vast scale difference, this conversion is mainly useful in theoretical, astrophysical, or large systemic-energy studies.

What Is This Tool?

This converter tool allows you to transform power measurements expressed in erg per second, a CGS unit often used in astrophysics, into exajoule per second, an SI unit representing extremely large energy flow rates commonly used to describe planetary or stellar power.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the value in erg per second (erg/s) into the input field
Select erg/second as the source unit and exajoule/second as the target unit
Click convert to receive the equivalent power value in EJ/s

Key Features

Converts small-scale power units (erg/s) into very large SI units (EJ/s)
Useful for astrophysical and planetary science energy flow comparisons
Supports easy input of values and instant conversion results

Examples

1 erg/s equals 1 × 10⁻²⁵ EJ/s
5 × 10⁷ erg/s converts to 5 × 10⁻¹⁸ EJ/s

Common Use Cases
