Convert terawatt to attowatt
Please provide values below to convert terawatt [TW] to attowatt [aW], or Convert attowatt to terawatt.
1 TW = 1.0000e+30 aW. To convert terawatt to attowatt, multiply the value by 1.0000e+30; to go the other way, divide by it (1 aW = 1.0000e-30 TW). Both units measure power and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 TW = 1.0000e+30 aW
- 1 aW = 1.0000e-30 TW
- 10 TW = 1.0000e+31 aW
- 100 TW = 1.0000e+32 aW
How to Convert Terawatt to Attowatt
1 TW = 1e+30 aW
Example: convert 15 TW to aW:
15 TW = 15 × 1e+30 aW = 1.5e+31 aW

Terawatt
A terawatt (TW) is a unit of power equal to one trillion watts (10^12 watts).
History/Origin
The term 'terawatt' was introduced as part of the metric system to quantify extremely large power levels, especially in fields like astrophysics and energy production, gaining prominence in the 20th century with advancements in large-scale energy and power measurement.
Current Use
Terawatts are used to describe the total power output of large-scale energy sources, such as the total global power consumption, solar radiation received by Earth, and astrophysical phenomena.
Attowatt
An attowatt (aW) is a unit of power equal to 10^-18 watts, representing an extremely small amount of power.
History/Origin
The attowatt is part of the SI prefix system introduced to denote very small quantities, with 'atto-' representing 10^-18. It has been used mainly in scientific contexts to measure minuscule power levels.
Current Use
The attowatt is rarely used in practical applications but may be referenced in scientific research involving extremely low power measurements, such as in quantum physics or nanotechnology.
