What does one megajoule per second represent?

One megajoule per second (MJ/s) equals one million joules per second, which is the same as one megawatt, measuring the rate of energy transfer or consumption.

When should I use terawatts instead of megajoule per second?

Terawatts are appropriate for expressing extremely large power flows such as national or global energy usage, whereas megajoule per second is better suited for industrial or plant-level power measurements.

Is this conversion useful in astrophysics?

Yes, terawatts are used to describe very large power outputs like stellar luminosities in astronomy, making this conversion relevant for that field.
