What are Kiloelectron-volt and Megaton

Definition of Kiloelectron-volt

A kiloelectron-volt (keV) is a unit of energy. It's equivalent to 1,000 electron volts (eV). In the field of physics, particularly when dealing with the energy of particles and photons, the keV is commonly used. It represents the amount of kinetic energy gained or lost by a single electron when it moves across an electric potential difference of one volt.

Definition of Megaton

A megaton is a unit of explosive energy equivalent to one million tons of TNT. Often used in the context of nuclear explosions, it measures the amount of energy released in terms of the mass of TNT required to produce an equivalent release. This unit is also used to compare the energy release of catastrophic events like meteor impacts and volcanic eruptions.
