What are Megaton and Horsepower-hour

Definition of Megaton

A Megaton is a unit of explosive energy equivalent to one million tons of TNT. It's commonly used to describe the energy release of nuclear weapons. The term reflects the massive amount of energy released in a nuclear explosion and is a non-SI metric unit.

Definition of Horsepower-hour

A horsepower-hour (hp·h) is a unit of energy equivalent to the work done by one horsepower acting for one hour. This measurement is utilized in various industries to quantify large-scale energy output or consumption, especially in engine performance and electricity generation contexts.
