What does kilocalorie (IT)/minute measure?

It measures power as the rate of energy transfer where one kilocalorie (International Table) is delivered or consumed each minute, often related to human metabolic or heating processes.

What is exajoule per second [EJ/s] used for?

Exajoule per second measures very large power flows typical in astrophysics and planetary energy budgets, like stellar luminosities or Earth's absorbed solar power.

Why convert from kilocalorie (IT)/minute to exajoule per second?

Converting allows comparing small-scale biological or appliance energy rates with vast energy flows in astrophysics or climate studies, linking different scales effectively.
