What are Gigajoule and Attojoule

Definition of Gigajoule

A gigajoule (GJ) is a unit of energy within the International System of Units (SI) equivalent to one billion joules. It's a substantial amount of energy often used in industrial and scientific contexts. To put it into perspective, one gigajoule is roughly the energy required to power a typical home for an entire day or the energy released by about 278 kilowatt-hours of electricity.

Definition of Attojoule

An attojoule (aJ) is a minuscule unit of energy in the International System of Units (SI), equivalent to 10^-18 joules. It represents a quintillionth of a joule, serving as a measure for energy at the atomic or subatomic level. Attojoules are commonly used in quantum physics and nanotechnology to quantify the energy of particles, interactions, and processes at the smallest scales.

Conversion of Gigajoule to Attojoule

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

Example 1:
Convert 2 GJ to aJ:
2 GJ = 2 × 1e+27 aJ = 2e+27 aJ

Example 2:
Convert 0.5 GJ to aJ:
0.5 GJ = 0.5 × 1e+27 aJ = 5e+26 aJ
