What does one terajoule per second represent?

One terajoule per second (TJ/s) is a power unit representing an energy transfer rate of one terajoule (10^12 joules) every second, equal to one terawatt (10^12 watts).

When should I use exawatt as a power unit?

Exawatt (EW) is used to describe extremely large power levels, such as planetary-scale energy flows or astrophysical power outputs, due to its size of 10^18 watts.

Why might converting small values from terajoule/second to exawatt be impractical?

Because of the huge scale difference, small terajoule/second values convert into very tiny decimal values in exawatts, making them difficult to interpret.
