What does 1 terawatt equal in petajoules per second?

1 terawatt is equal to 0.001 petajoules per second.

Why use petajoule per second instead of terawatt for some measurements?

Petajoule per second is used for describing even larger-scale power flows and energy transfers such as continental or astrophysical levels, offering a higher unit scale.

Can this tool convert small power values accurately?

No, these units are best suited to very large power values; using them for small-scale power may lead to impractical or imprecise results.
