KiloJoule

The kilojoule (kJ) is a unit of energy in the International System of Units (SI). It is equal to one thousand joules (1000 J). The kilojoule is commonly used to measure the energy content of foods and the amount of energy expended in physical activities.

Origin:

The kilojoule is derived from the joule, which is named after James Prescott Joule, an English physicist. The prefix 'kilo-' signifies a factor of one thousand, making the kilojoule equal to one thousand joules.

Gigaton

The gigaton (Gt) is a unit of energy equal to one billion metric tons of TNT. It is commonly used to measure the energy released by large-scale events such as nuclear explosions and asteroid impacts.

Origin:

The gigaton is derived from the ton, which is a unit of mass. The gigaton measures the energy equivalent to one billion metric tons of TNT.
