What are Gigajoule and Megajoule

A gigajoule (GJ) is a unit of energy equivalent to one billion joules. Commonly used in measuring large-scale energy release, such as in natural gas and electricity, it provides a standardized measure for energy transactions and comparisons. One gigajoule represents a substantial amount of energy, often used in the context of power plants or the energy content of fuel.

A megajoule (MJ) is a unit of energy that equates to one million joules. As a submultiple of the joule, the standard unit of energy in the International System of Units (SI), megajoules are useful for quantifying medium-level energy processes, such as the energy produced by a burning kilogram of coal or the kinetic energy of a vehicle in motion.
