What are Dyne and Megaton

A dyne is a unit of force within the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system of units, defined as the force required to accelerate a mass of one gram at a rate of one centimeter per second squared. It is a derived unit in the CGS system, symbolized by 'dyn'.

A megaton is a unit of energy commonly used to describe the explosive power of nuclear weapons. It is equivalent to the energy released by the detonation of one million tons of TNT (trinitrotoluene). This unit serves as a stark measure of destructive potential.
