Convert megajoule/second to gigajoule/second
Please provide values below to convert megajoule/second [MJ/s] to gigajoule/second [GJ/s], or Convert gigajoule/second to megajoule/second.
1 MJ/s = 0.001 GJ/s. To convert megajoule/second to gigajoule/second, multiply the value by 0.001; to go the other way, divide by it (1 GJ/s = 1000 MJ/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 MJ/s = 0.001 GJ/s
- 1 GJ/s = 1000 MJ/s
- 10 MJ/s = 0.01 GJ/s
- 100 MJ/s = 0.1 GJ/s
How to Convert Megajoule/second to Gigajoule/second
1 MJ/s = 0.001 GJ/s
Example: convert 15 MJ/s to GJ/s:
15 MJ/s = 15 × 0.001 GJ/s = 0.015 GJ/s

Megajoule/second
A megajoule per second (MJ/s) is a unit of power equivalent to one megajoule of energy transferred or converted per second, where 1 megajoule equals 1,000,000 joules.
History/Origin
The megajoule per second has been used in scientific and engineering contexts to quantify large-scale power, especially in fields like physics and energy systems, as a convenient unit for expressing high power levels. It is derived from the SI units of energy (joule) and time (second).
Current Use
Today, MJ/s is primarily used in scientific research, energy production, and engineering to describe high power outputs, such as in power plants, large-scale energy systems, and theoretical calculations involving energy transfer rates.
Gigajoule/second
A gigajoule per second (GJ/s) is a unit of power equivalent to one gigajoule of energy transferred or converted per second.
History/Origin
The gigajoule per second emerged as a larger-scale unit of power measurement, primarily used in scientific and engineering contexts to quantify high power levels, especially in energy production and consumption. It is derived from the SI unit joule and the prefix giga, combined with the second as the time unit.
Current Use
GJ/s is used in fields such as energy industry, power generation, and large-scale energy transfer analysis to express high power rates, often in the context of power plants, energy infrastructure, and large energy projects.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 megajoule/second in gigajoule/second?
1 megajoule/second (MJ/s) = 0.001 gigajoule/second (GJ/s).
How do you convert megajoule/second to gigajoule/second?
Multiply the megajoule/second value by 0.001. For example, 25 MJ/s × 0.001 = 0.025 GJ/s.
What is 10 megajoule/second in gigajoule/second?
10 MJ/s = 0.01 GJ/s.
Which unit is larger, the megajoule/second or the gigajoule/second?
The gigajoule/second is the larger unit: 1 MJ/s equals only 0.001 GJ/s.
