Why convert nanowatts to metric horsepower?

This conversion helps relate very low power measurements common in electronics to mechanical power units used in engines and motors.

Where is metric horsepower commonly used?

Metric horsepower is often used in rating vehicle engines and industrial motors in many European and Asian countries.

Are conversion values typically large or small?

Since nanowatts indicate extremely low power, resulting metric horsepower values are very small and may require scaling.
