1 E9 J - Definition

To help compare different orders of magnitude we list here energies between 10⁹ joules (a gigajoule, symbol GJ) and 10¹⁰ joules.

• Weaker energies
• 1.5 × 10⁹ J – energy in an average lightning bolt
• 1.6 × 10⁹ J – energy in an average tankful (45 litres) of petrol
• 1.956 × 10⁹ J – Planck energy
• 3.2 × 10⁹ J – 900 kWh: approximate annual power use of a standard clothes dryer
• 3.6 × 10⁹ J – 1,000 kWh
• 4.184 × 10⁹ J – energy released by explosion of 1 tonne of TNT
• Stronger energies
