Fahrenheit and Celsius are not used to describe quantities of heat. They're used

to describe how deep an object is filled with heat.

If the object is one that can't hold much heat ... like a stone or 1/2 ounce of water ...

then even a little bit of heat can fill it deep in Fahrenheit or Celsius.

If it's an object that can hold a lot of heat ... like a swimming pool ... then even if you

pour heat into it for an hour, the heat in it won't get very deep in Fahrenheit or Celsius.

The amount of heat you pour into the object is described in units of energy, like

joules, watt-seconds, or foot-pounds, because, after all, heat is energy.

The amount of energy produced by a 5 Mt nuclear bomb is a big number. So it's

described as "the amount of energy released by exploding 5 million tons of TNT".

That's what "5Mt" means.
