To help compare different orders of magnitude we list here energies between 1017 joules and 1018 joules. Weaker energies 1.74 × 1017 J -- total energy from the Sun that hits the Earth in one second 2.5 × 1017 J -- energy release of the largest nuclear weapon ever tested 3.6 × 1017J -- 100 TWh 4 × 1017J -- 111 TWh -- electricity consumption of Norway in 1998.
