What are Gigajoule and Horsepower-hour

Definition of Gigajoule

A Gigajoule (GJ) is a unit of energy in the International System of Units (SI) that is equal to one billion joules. It's commonly used in energy discussions globally to represent large quantities of energy. The Gigajoule is a significant unit for measuring energy content in natural gas and electricity, reflecting the substantial amount of energy these mediums can transfer.

Definition of Horsepower-hour

Horsepower-hour (hp*h) is a unit of energy that combines the power unit horsepower (hp) with the time unit hour (h). It represents the work done by a power of one horsepower operating for one hour. This unit is not a part of the International System of Units (SI) but is still used in certain contexts, particularly in the context of engines and electric motors.
