Convert centiwatt to exawatt
Please provide values below to convert centiwatt [cW] to exawatt [EW], or Convert exawatt to centiwatt.
1 cW = 1.0000e-20 EW. To convert centiwatt to exawatt, multiply the value by 1.0000e-20; to go the other way, divide by it (1 EW = 1.0000e+20 cW). Both units measure power and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 cW = 1.0000e-20 EW
- 1 EW = 1.0000e+20 cW
- 10 cW = 1.0000e-19 EW
- 100 cW = 1.0000e-18 EW
How to Convert Centiwatt to Exawatt
1 cW = 1e-20 EW
Example: convert 15 cW to EW:
15 cW = 15 × 1e-20 EW = 1.5e-19 EW

Centiwatt
A centiwatt (cW) is a unit of power equal to one hundredth of a watt, where 1 cW = 0.01 watts.
History/Origin
The centiwatt was introduced as a smaller unit of power measurement to facilitate calculations involving very low power levels, although it is not widely used in practice and remains a rarely adopted unit in the SI system.
Current Use
Today, the centiwatt is rarely used in practical applications; power measurements are typically expressed in watts or subunits like milliwatts and microwatts. It may be encountered in specialized scientific contexts or theoretical discussions.
Exawatt
An exawatt (EW) is a unit of power equal to 10^18 watts.
History/Origin
The exawatt is part of the SI prefix system, introduced to represent extremely large power quantities, especially in theoretical physics and astrophysics, as the need to express vast energy outputs grew.
Current Use
Exawatts are primarily used in scientific contexts to describe the power output of large-scale phenomena such as stars and cosmic events; they are rarely used in everyday measurements.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 centiwatt in exawatt?
1 centiwatt (cW) = 1.0000e-20 exawatt (EW).
How do you convert centiwatt to exawatt?
Multiply the centiwatt value by 1.0000e-20. For example, 25 cW × 1.0000e-20 = 2.5000e-19 EW.
What is 10 centiwatt in exawatt?
10 cW = 1.0000e-19 EW.
Which unit is larger, the centiwatt or the exawatt?
The exawatt is the larger unit: 1 cW equals only 1.0000e-20 EW.
