Erg to kiloton of TNT converter (erg to kttnt)

Conversion Formula

1 erg = 2.39e-20 kttnt

Step-by-Step Explanation

1. Understand the base relationship:
   1 Erg = 1.00e-7 joules
   1 Kiloton of TNT = 4.18T joules
2. Establish the conversion factor:
   1 erg = (1.00e-7 J) / (4.18T J/kttnt) = 2.39e-20 kttnt
3. Apply the conversion:
   Multiply the value in erg by 2.39e-20 to get the equivalent in kttnt

Example Conversion

Convert 5 erg to kttnt:

5 erg × 2.39e-20 = 1.20e-19 kttnt
