About Converting Exajoules to Attojoules
Exajoule and Attojoule both measure energy, and the conversion is especially useful for comparing nutrition labels (kilocalories) against scientific energy figures (joules). Specifically: Exajoule is 1000000000000000000 joule units, and attojoule is 1e-18 joule units.
Formula
attojoules = exajoules × 1e+36
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 exajoule equals 1e+18 base units, and 1 attojoule equals 1e-18 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct exajoule-to-attojoule factor of 1e+36.
Simple example
1 EJ × 1e+36 = 1e+36 aJ
1 exajoule = 1e+36 attojoules.
Real-world example
100 EJ × 1e+36 = 1e+38 aJ
100 exajoules = 1e+38 attojoules.
