TNT equivalent is a measure used to compare the energy released in an explosion with the energy released by TNT (trinitrotoluene), which is a widely used explosive. The term is often used in contexts such as nuclear explosions, bomb testing, or large-scale industrial accidents to provide a frame of reference for the magnitude of the explosion. Different materials release energy in different amounts when they explode.
