converter.aboutUnit
The calorie (cal) is a small energy unit defined as the amount of heat needed to raise one gram of water by one degree Celsius, primarily used in physics and chemistry. In everyday language, 'calorie' usually refers to the kilocalorie (kcal), but the true calorie is 1/1,000th of that amount. One calorie equals exactly 4.184 joules, providing a direct bridge between thermal and mechanical energy.
