What are Megaton and Kilowatt-hour

Definition of Megaton

A Megaton is a unit of explosive energy equivalent to the energy released by one million tons of TNT. It's often used to express the energy output of nuclear weapons or meteor impacts. This measure quantifies colossal amounts of energy, typically used in contexts where immense force and impact are discussed.

Definition of Kilowatt-hour

A Kilowatt-hour is a unit of energy equivalent to one kilowatt of power expended for one hour. This measure is commonly used to quantify electricity consumption and reflects the amount of energy used over time. It serves as a billing unit for energy delivered to consumers by electric utilities.
