To help compare different orders of magnitude we list here energies between 109 joules (a gigajoule, symbol GJ) and 1010 joules.
- Weaker energies
- 1.5 × 109 J – energy in an average lightning bolt
- 1.6 × 109 J – energy in an average tankful (45 litres) of petrol
- 1.956 × 109 J – Planck energy
- 3.2 × 109 J – 900 kWh: approximate annual power use of a standard clothes dryer
- 3.6 × 109 J – 1,000 kWh
- 4.184 × 109 J – energy released by explosion of 1 tonne of TNT
- Stronger energies
