What are Megaton and Megajoule

A Megaton (Mt) is a unit of energy typically used to describe the explosive energy of nuclear weapons. It is equivalent to the energy released by one million tons (1,000,000 tons) of TNT. This unit is not part of the International System of Units (SI) but is widely used in military and energy sectors to convey the magnitude of large-scale energy releases.

A Megajoule (MJ) is a derived unit of energy in the International System of Units (SI). One Megajoule is equal to one million joules, the standard unit of energy. It is commonly used to measure the amount of energy produced, transferred, or used in various contexts, including electrical, mechanical, and thermal applications.
