To help compare different orders of magnitude this page lists energies between 10⁶ joules (a megajoule, symbol MJ) and 10⁷ joules.

• Weaker energies
• 2,684,520 J – a power of one horsepower applied for one hour
• 3,600,000 J (or 3.6 MJ) – 1 kWh (kilowatt-hour)
• 4.184 × 10⁶ J – energy released by explosion of one kilogram of TNT
• 10⁶ J = 239 kcal – the nutritional value of a snack (e.g. a Mars bar) is around that value, typical servings of staple food such as 150 g of rice or 200 g of wheat bread as well.
• 1500 kcal = 6.3 × 10⁶ is an often recommended value for the nutritional energy a woman not doing heavy labour needs per day (2000 kcal = 8.4 × 10⁶ for men).
• Stronger energies
