Compared to fireworks, yes, compared to thermonuclear bombs, no

The units for entropy are joules per kelvin (J K-1)
R = 8.31 J/mol K Where J are the joules and K are the Kelvins.
c-a=k

4.184 J/g/K = 4.184 x 150 x (318-274) = 27614 Joules
The energy is known in Joules and it can be compared to the explosive energy of TNT.
Joules per Kelvin (J/K)
Heat capacity is in the measurement of (kilo)Joules per mol degree Kelvin (J/mol K) Specific heat capacity is in joules/gram degree Kelvin (J/ gram K) Converting between the two is rather simple. To convert to specific heat capacity, divide the molar heat capacity by the molar mass of the molecule in question. eg. ( J/ mol K) / (grams/mol ) = J/ gram K, because mols will cancel.
No. Rigel's effective temperature is 12100 K compared to the Sun's 5778 K.
56 kilo joules = 56,000 joules
