What does microjoule/second [µJ/s] measure?

Microjoule/second is a power unit quantifying very small continuous energy transfer rates, commonly used in electronics and photonics.

When should I use gigajoule/second [GJ/s] units?

Gigajoule/second is suited for describing very large continuous power outputs such as those from power plants or large engines.

Why is the conversion factor so small between µJ/s and GJ/s?

Because microjoule/second measures extremely small power, while gigajoule/second represents extremely large power, their values differ by a factor of 10¹⁵.
