Convert erg/second to exawatt
Please provide values below to convert erg/second [erg/s] to exawatt [EW], or Convert exawatt to erg/second.
1 erg/s = 1.0000e-25 EW. To convert erg/second to exawatt, multiply the value by 1.0000e-25; to go the other way, divide by it (1 EW = 1.0000e+25 erg/s). Both units measure power and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 erg/s = 1.0000e-25 EW
- 1 EW = 1.0000e+25 erg/s
- 10 erg/s = 1.0000e-24 EW
- 100 erg/s = 1.0000e-23 EW
How to Convert Erg/second to Exawatt
1 erg/s = 1e-25 EW
Example: convert 15 erg/s to EW:
15 erg/s = 15 × 1e-25 EW = 1.5e-24 EW

Erg/second
The erg/second (erg/s) is a unit of power representing the rate of energy transfer or conversion, where one erg per second equals the transfer of one erg of energy per second.
History/Origin
The erg is an older CGS (centimeter-gram-second) unit of energy, introduced in the early 20th century for scientific calculations. The erg/second was used in physics to quantify power in contexts where the CGS system was prevalent, especially in astrophysics and theoretical physics.
Current Use
Today, the erg/second is rarely used outside specialized scientific fields; the SI unit watt (W) is preferred for measuring power. However, erg/s may still be encountered in historical data, astrophysics, or when working with CGS-based calculations.
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 erg/second in exawatt?
1 erg/second (erg/s) = 1.0000e-25 exawatt (EW).
How do you convert erg/second to exawatt?
Multiply the erg/second value by 1.0000e-25. For example, 25 erg/s × 1.0000e-25 = 2.5000e-24 EW.
What is 10 erg/second in exawatt?
10 erg/s = 1.0000e-24 EW.
Which unit is larger, the erg/second or the exawatt?
The exawatt is the larger unit: 1 erg/s equals only 1.0000e-25 EW.
