What are Calorie and Megajoule

A Calorie (symbolized as 'cal'), specifically a 'thermochemical calorie', is a unit of energy defined as the amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of one gram of water by one degree Celsius at a pressure of one atmosphere.

A Megajoule (MJ) is a unit of energy in the International System of Units (SI). One megajoule is equivalent to one million joules, where a joule is the energy transferred when applying a force of one newton over a displacement of one meter.

History of Calorie and Megajoule

A brief history of the Calorie th to Megajoule Converter traces back to the scientific need to convert different energy units. As Calorie became a common unit for food energy, and Megajoule represented larger quantities of energy, this tool emerged as essential for scientists, dieticians, and engineers alike.
