What does one exajoule per second represent in watts?

One exajoule per second equals 10 to the 18th power watts, representing an extremely large power quantity known as one exawatt.

Why is horsepower used instead of watts in some cases?

Horsepower is a traditional, widely recognized unit commonly used to describe engine and machinery power, making it practical for certain industries and products.

Can I use this converter for all types of horsepower?

This converter uses the common mechanical/imperial horsepower definition (hp UK); other variants like metric horsepower are not covered here.
