What Is This Tool?
This tool allows you to convert power measurements from joule per hour (J/h), a unit used for very low continuous power, to exawatt (EW), an extremely large unit for planetary or astrophysical power levels. It facilitates comparing small-scale energy transfers with vast cosmic power outputs.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the value in joule/hour (J/h) you wish to convert.
-
Select joule/hour as the input unit and exawatt as the output unit.
-
Click the convert button to get the result in exawatt (EW).
-
Review the conversion output for your scientific or engineering purpose.
Key Features
-
Converts joule/hour (J/h) to exawatt (EW) power units accurately.
-
Uses the exact conversion rate between the two units without added approximations.
-
Supports scientific and engineering conversions for laboratory to astrophysical scales.
-

Examples
-
Convert 100 J/h to EW: 100 × 2.7777777777778e-22 EW = 2.7777777777778e-20 EW
-
Convert 1,000 J/h to EW: 1,000 × 2.7777777777778e-22 EW = 2.7777777777778e-19 EW
Common Use Cases
-
Expressing low power levels measured over hours for electronic device standby losses.
-
Converting long-duration energy readings into instantaneous power rates in engineering.
-
Comparing small-scale laboratory thermal losses with extremely large astrophysical power outputs.
-
Describing planetary-scale energy flows such as Earth’s intercepted solar power.
-
Assessing energy magnitudes in high-energy physics and global energy scenarios.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Use this conversion tool for theoretical comparisons between laboratory and cosmic power scales.
-
Be aware of the large difference in magnitudes between J/h and EW to interpret results appropriately.
-
Ensure correct unit selection to avoid confusion in your calculations.
-
Use the tool to supplement astrophysics and planetary science research involving power measurements.
Limitations
-
Direct practical conversions are rare due to the huge scale difference between joule/hour and exawatt.
-
The joule/hour is intended for very low power rates, while exawatt measures extraordinarily large power levels.
-
Precision may be limited when converting between such divergent units.
-
This conversion is mainly theoretical or for scale comparison purposes rather than common daily use.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does joule per hour (J/h) measure?
-
Joule per hour (J/h) measures the rate of energy transfer or conversion where one joule is transferred per hour, often reflecting low continuous power.
-
When is it useful to convert J/h to exawatt (EW)?
-
This conversion is useful for relating very low power rates in laboratory or engineering contexts to extremely large power scales in astrophysical or planetary science.
-
Why is the exawatt unit so large?
-
Exawatt (EW) is equal to 10^18 watts and is used to describe massive power outputs like those seen in planetary energy flows or astrophysical phenomena.
Key Terminology
