What does 1 joule per hour represent?

It represents a power rate where one joule of energy is transferred or converted each hour, which corresponds to a very low power level often used to describe slow energy transfer.

Why convert from joule/hour to nanojoule/second?

This conversion allows expressing slow energy transfers measured over hours as finer, instantaneous power rates useful for low-power electronic and photonics applications.

How accurate is the conversion between these units?

The conversion is exact based on the factor of 3600 seconds per hour, but rounding or instrument limitations might affect practical accuracy.
