Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is a milliwatt?
-
A milliwatt (mW) is one thousandth of a watt, used to measure low power levels in electronic, optical, and radio-frequency devices.
-
What does exawatt represent?
-
An exawatt (EW) is an SI unit of power equal to 10^18 watts, used to describe very large power outputs in astrophysical and planetary energy contexts.
-
Why convert milliwatts to exawatts?
-
This conversion helps understand scale differences between small electronic power levels and huge power magnitudes typical of stars or global energy flows.
