Erg to megaton of TNT converter (erg to mttnt)

Conversion Formula

1 erg = 2.39e-23 mttnt

Step-by-Step Explanation

1. Understand the base relationship:
   1 Erg = 1.00e-7 joules
   1 Megaton of TNT = 4.18P joules
2. Establish the conversion factor:
   1 erg = (1.00e-7 J) / (4.18P J/mttnt) = 2.39e-23 mttnt
3. Apply the conversion:
   Multiply the value in erg by 2.39e-23 to get the equivalent in mttnt

Example Conversion

Convert 5 erg to mttnt:

5 erg × 2.39e-23 = 1.20e-22 mttnt
