Converting from Quad (quad) to Megajoule (MJ)

What is Quad (quad)

A Quad (short for quadrillion British thermal units, BTUs) is a unit of energy commonly used in the energy sector to measure large quantities of energy. One quad is equivalent to 1∗1015 BTUs, which makes it suitable for expressing energy outputs from power plants or the overall energy consumption of countries. This unit is especially valuable when discussing national or global energy statistics due to the vast amounts involved.

What is Megajoule (MJ)

The Megajoule is a metric unit of energy, often used in scientific contexts. One Megajoule is defined as 1∗106 joules. It is a smaller unit compared to a quad, making it ideal for measuring everyday energy consumption, such as electricity usage in homes or the energy content of food.
