Convert j to megaton
Joule
The joule (/dʒaʊ,dʒuːljawl, jool; symbol: J) is a derived unit of energy in the International System of Units. It is equal to the energy transferred to (or work done on) an object when a force of one newton acts on that object in the direction of the force's motion through a distance of one metre (1 newton metre or N⋅m). It is also the energy dissipated as heat when an electric current of one ampere passes through a resistance of one ohm for one second. It is named after the English physicist James Prescott Joule (1818–1889).
Megaton
The megaton (Mt) is a unit of mass equal to one million metric tons (10⁹ kg), or a unit of explosive energy equivalent to one million tons of TNT (approximately 4.184 × 10¹⁵ joules). It is primarily used to describe the yields of thermonuclear (hydrogen) weapons and large asteroid impact events. The most powerful nuclear weapon ever tested, the Soviet Tsar Bomba, had a yield of approximately 50 megatons.
