What are Kilojoule and Therm

Definition of Kilojoule

A kilojoule (kJ) is a unit of energy in the International System of Units (SI). One kilojoule equals 1,000 joules, which is the energy required to apply a force of one newton over a distance of one meter. It's commonly used in various fields such as physics, nutrition, and engineering to measure the amount of work done, heat transferred, or energy consumed.

Definition of Therm

A therm is a unit of heat energy that is commonly used in the heating industry. One therm is equivalent to 100,000 British Thermal Units (BTU). It is a non-SI unit but is accepted for use with the International System of Units. Therms are often used to measure large quantities of energy, such as natural gas consumption in households or businesses.
