What are Attojoule and Gigawatt-hour

An attojoule (aJ) is a unit of energy equal to 10^-18 joules. It's a minuscule quantity, often used in particle physics, representing the energy at a very small, quantum level. The attojoule is part of the metric system, which scales by powers of ten, and it helps in accurately describing the tiny amounts of energy involved in subatomic processes.

A gigawatt-hour (GWh) is a unit of energy representing one billion (10^9) watt-hours. It's a large-scale measurement often used by power companies and for discussing the energy output of large power plants or the electricity consumption of large cities over the course of an hour. One GWh is equivalent to the energy produced by ten million 100-watt light bulbs used for one hour.

History of Attojoule and Gigawatt-hour

The concept of converting attojoules to gigawatt-hours stems from the need to compare extremely small energy quantities to those on a much larger scale. This conversion helps in bridging the gap between microscopic energy levels and those used in large-scale applications like power generation and consumption.
