Discover the simplicity of converting energy units from watt-seconds to gigatons using the precise and user-friendly Ws to GT tool, crafted by Newtum to satiate your curiosity and conversion needs.
A watt-second (Ws) is a derived unit of energy equivalent to one joule. It represents the energy expended when one watt of power is used for one second. This unit is commonly used in the context of electrical energy and power calculations, and it provides a straightforward way to quantify small amounts of work or heat energy.
Definition of GigatonA gigaton (GT) is a unit of mass commonly used to measure the amount of energy released in large-scale events, such as asteroid impacts or explosive volcanic eruptions. Equivalent to one billion metric tons, it is also applied in climate science to quantify the amount of carbon dioxide emissions.
| Watt-second (Ws) | Gigaton (GT) |
|---|---|
| 1 Ws | 1e-18 GT |
| 10 Ws | 1e-17 GT |
| 100 Ws | 1e-16 GT |
| 1,000 Ws | 1e-15 GT |
| 10,000 Ws | 1e-14 GT |
| 100,000 Ws | 1e-13 GT |
| 1,000,000 Ws | 1e-12 GT |
| 10,000,000 Ws | 1e-11 GT |
| 100,000,000 Ws | 1e-10 GT |
| 1,000,000,000 Ws | 1e-9 GT |
1 Ws = 1e-18 GT
1 GT = 1e+18 Ws
Example 1:
Convert 50 Ws to GT:
50 Ws = 50 × 1e-18 GT = 5e-17 GT
Example 2:
Convert 2500 Ws to GT:
2500 Ws = 2500 × 1e-18 GT = 2.5e-15 GT
