What does petajoule per second (PJ/s) measure?

Petajoule per second measures power as energy transfer rate equal to 10^15 joules per second, typically used for very large energy flows.

In what contexts is calorie (IT) per minute used?

Calorie (IT) per minute expresses small continuous heat rates in scientific experiments, engineering, and metabolic rate studies.

Why is there such a large conversion factor between PJ/s and cal/min?

Because PJ/s and cal/min differ vastly in scale, representing extremely large and small power units respectively, leading to huge numerical conversion factors.
