Milliwatts
A milliwatt (mW) is a unit of power equal to one thousandth of a watt. It is often used in contexts where power levels are low, such as in electronics and communications.
Gigawatts
A gigawatt (GW) is equal to one billion watts. It is used to measure large-scale power output, such as the capacity of entire power grids or large power plants. Gigawatts are used in the context of national or regional energy production.
