What are Attojoule and Gigajoule

Definition of Attojoule

An attojoule is a unit of energy equal to 10^-18 joules. It represents a very small amount of energy, often used in the context of particle physics, quantum mechanics, and electrodynamics, where energy scales can be minuscule. The prefix 'atto' is derived from the Danish word for eighteen, reflecting its place in the power of ten sequence of energy units.

Definition of Gigajoule

A gigajoule is a unit of energy equivalent to one billion joules (10^9 joules). It's a significant amount of energy commonly used in large-scale applications such as energy production, consumption, and industrial processes. Gigajoules help to quantify substantial energy transfers and are an important unit in fields like engineering, physics, and the energy sector.

Attojoule to Gigajoule Conversion Table

Attojoule (aJ) Gigajoule (GJ)
1 aJ 1e-27 GJ
10 aJ 1e-26 GJ
100 aJ 1e-25 GJ
1,000 aJ 1e-24 GJ
10,000 aJ 1e-23 GJ
100,000 aJ 1e-22 GJ
1,000,000 aJ 1e-21 GJ
10,000,000 aJ 1e-20 GJ
100,000,000 aJ 1e-19 GJ
1,000,000,000 aJ 1e-18 GJ

Conversion of Attojoule to Gigajoule

1 aJ = 1e-27 GJ
1 GJ = 1e+27 aJ

Example 1:
Convert 500 aJ to GJ:
500 aJ = 500 × 1e-27 GJ = 5e-25 GJ

Example 2:
Convert 1,000,000 aJ to GJ:
1,000,000 aJ = 1,000,000 × 1e-27 GJ = 1e-21 GJ

History of Attojoule and Gigajoule

The Attojoule to Gigajoule Converter is a tool that bridges the vast gap between two energy units: the minuscule attojoule and the substantially larger gigajoule. While these units are at opposite ends of the energy scale, this converter allows for easy translation between them, facilitating calculations in various scientific and engineering applications.

Solved Examples aJ to GJ

Example 1:
If you have 5,000,000,000 aJ, the conversion to GJ would be:
5,000,000,000 aJ = 5e+9 × 1e-27 GJ = 5e-18 GJ.

Example 2:
Converting 7,500,000,000,000 aJ to GJ results in:
7,500,000,000,000 aJ = 7.5e+12 × 1e-27 GJ = 7.5e-15 GJ.
