About Converting Attojoules to Yoctojoules
Attojoule and Yoctojoule both measure energy, and the conversion is especially useful for comparing nutrition labels (kilocalories) against scientific energy figures (joules). Specifically: Attojoule is 1e-18 joule units, and yoctojoule is 1e-24 joule units.
Formula
yoctojoules = attojoules × 1000000
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 attojoule equals 1e-18 base units, and 1 yoctojoule equals 1e-24 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct attojoule-to-yoctojoule factor of 1000000.
Simple example
1 aJ × 1000000 = 1,000,000 yJ
1 attojoule = 1,000,000 yoctojoules.
Real-world example
100 aJ × 1000000 = 100,000,000 yJ
100 attojoules = 100,000,000 yoctojoules.
