What does petajoule per second measure?

Petajoule per second measures power, representing the rate of energy transfer at extremely large scales such as national energy flows or planetary budgets.

Why convert from petajoule per second to centiwatt?

Converting from petajoule per second to centiwatt helps bridge understanding between very large power quantities and the low power consumption levels of small electronics or sensors.

Are the converted values practical to use directly?

Due to the large scale difference, converted values can be very large and hard to handle without scientific notation or specialized tools.
