What does petajoule per second measure?

It measures extremely large power flows, defined as 10^15 joules per second, used to describe continental-scale or planetary energy rates.

Where is kilocalorie (th)/minute commonly used?

This unit is often used in physiology to express metabolic power, in rating thermal devices, and in calorimetry calculations.

Can I directly compare PJ/s and kcal(th)/min values?

Due to the vast difference in scale, direct comparisons are limited and should be interpreted carefully.
