What does kilocalorie (th)/minute measure?

It measures the rate of thermal energy transfer expressed as thermochemical kilocalories delivered per minute, commonly used in physiology and calorimetry.

What is an attowatt used for?

An attowatt is a unit of power equal to 10^-18 watts, used in contexts requiring measurement of extremely small power levels, such as nanoelectronics and quantum detectors.

Why are attowatt values so large when converting from kilocalorie (th)/minute?

Because kilocalorie (th)/minute measures comparatively large thermal power, the conversion to attowatt, a unit for ultra-small power, results in very large numerical values.
