What Is This Tool?
This unit converter transforms power measurements from exajoule per second (EJ/s), a scale used for immense energy rates such as planetary or stellar power, into centiwatt (cW), which represents very low power consumption suitable for tiny electronic devices. It bridges vast power scales to support analyses in various scientific and engineering contexts.
