What are Calorie and Terajoule

A calorie is a unit of energy that was originally defined as the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of one gram of water by one degree Celsius at a pressure of one atmosphere. It is commonly used in the context of food energy, where it quantifies the amount of energy that foods provide. In scientific terms, it is a relatively small unit of energy, especially when compared to the joule, the standard unit of energy in the International System of Units (SI). In nutritional contexts, the kilocalorie (often referred to simply as a 'calorie') is more commonly used.

A terajoule is an SI unit of energy equal to one trillion (10^12) joules. It is a massive unit often used to express the energy released in large-scale phenomena, like natural disasters or in the context of national energy consumption. To put it into perspective, one terajoule is approximately the amount of energy that 278,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity can provide. While it’s not commonly encountered in everyday energy discussions, it plays a crucial role in fields requiring large-scale energy computations, such as astrophysics or global energy resource management.
