Megawatt-hour

The megawatt-hour (MWh) is a unit of energy commonly used to measure large-scale electricity consumption. It is equal to the energy consumed by a device with a power rating of one megawatt operating for one hour. One megawatt-hour is equivalent to 3.6 billion joules.

Origin:

The megawatt-hour is derived from the watt-hour, which is a unit of energy named after James Watt, a Scottish engineer and inventor. The prefix 'mega-' signifies a factor of one million, making the megawatt-hour equal to one million watt-hours.

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.
