Tidal Heating Effect

The Tidal Heating Effect property of an object represents the amount of energy the object will absorb over time due to tidal heating. This is a read-only property that is automatically calculated by Universe Sandbox.

Location
The Tidal Heating Effect property is located in the Tidal Effects section in the Motion tab of the object's properties panel.

Units
Tidal Heating Effect can be viewed using the following units:


 * Yottawatts (YW) = 1024 W
 * Zetawatts (ZW) = 1021 W
 * Exawatts (EW) = 1018 W
 * Petawatts (PW) = 1015 W
 * Terawatts (TW) = 1012 W
 * Gigawatts (GW) = 109 W
 * Megawatts (MW) = 106 W
 * Kilowatts (kW) = 1000 W
 * Watts (W) is the SI unit for power, or energy per time.
