What are Therm and Megaton

A therm is a non-SI unit of heat energy equal to 100,000 British thermal units (BTU). It is commonly used in the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning industry as well as in natural gas pricing. The term 'therm' is derived from the Greek word 'thermos' meaning heat.

A megaton is a unit of explosive energy typically used to describe the energy yield of nuclear weapons. It is equivalent to the energy released by one million tons of TNT. This term reflects the massive destructive power and energy output nuclear arsenals can unleash.

History of Therm and Megaton

The Therm to Megaton Converter represents a tool that evolved from the need to convert units of energy from smaller, common measurements like therms, often used in natural gas transactions, to megatons, a term widely recognized in nuclear energy discussions. This tool bridges the gap between different scales of energy measurement.
