What are Attojoule and Megawatt-hour

An attojoule (aJ) is a unit of energy equal to 10^-18 joules. It is a minuscule quantity used primarily in the scientific community when measuring the energy of particles or in quantum physics. The prefix 'atto-' is derived from the Danish word for eighteen, reflecting its factor of ten to the negative eighteenth power in relation to the joule, the SI unit of energy.

A megawatt-hour (MWh) is a unit of energy equivalent to one megawatt (1 MW) of power expended for one hour of time. It represents a substantial amount of energy commonly used by power plants and electric companies to quantify large-scale energy production and consumption. It is a standard measure for electricity generation and provides a clear picture of energy usage over time.
