Everything about it is bigger and more intense than a conventional explosion, as more energy is released.

How did the communists takeover china and the soviet explosion of an atomic bomb affect the US?
Well the most reasons were that the atomic bomb did not only kill so many in the explosion but many more when the mushroom cloud started cancer all across china. That still effects china today with probloms about cancer
Which is most powerful a nuke an atomic bomb or a hydrogen bomb?
An H-Bomb is 1000 times stronger than an atomic bomb. Atomic explosions are based on splitting atoms and is a fission explosion or fission bomb. The Hydrogen bomb (also called H-Bomb) is a Fusion reaction where atoms are forced together. Atomic bombs were used in World War II, Hydrogen bombs have been tested, but not used in war.
Who is referred to as father of the atomic bomb?
The scientist given the most credit for the building of the atomic bomb is Robert Oppenheimer.
What city had the most death due to atomic bomb?
china
What was the most effective weapon in the cold war?
The Atomic Bomb.
Was Truman wrong in dropping the atomic bomb?
Most think he was not wrong about dropping the atomic bombs.
What was the most needed invention in World War 2?
I believe it was the atomic bomb. Evidence: every country in the war was researching WMD's but the atomic bomb was the most heavily researched of all.
What is the most powerful bomb ever built?
The Atomic BOmb tested in New Mexico in the 70's
Why did it one day to create the atomic bomb?
It didn't take 1 day to make the atomic bomb, it took most of WW2 for the US to create it with testings.
What was the original purpose of the atomic bomb?
The atomic bomb creates a tremendous explosion that is more powerful than regular TNT bombs and one of the by products of the atomic reaction is radiation. Atomic and hydrogen bombs create different types of damage and effects depending on where it is exploded. If it is exploded underground it has one type of effect. If the bomb is exploded in outer space, then there is no air so the explosion is dispelled in almost pure radiation and light energy. Answer They were also a major scare tactic. Let's face it. If your opponent has something that can wipe out most of an entire city, aren't you going to do as they say?
What was the most powerful weapon is World War II?
The Atomic bomb.
How does Krakatoa's eruption compare to an atomic bomb explosion?
First you have to realize that the yield of the explosion of an atomic bomb is not a fixed value, the US has designed and fielded pure fission atomic bombs with yields as low as about 10 tons of TNT to as high as 500 kilotons of TNT and using fusion in the design yields as high as 25 megatons were designed and fielded. The USSR designed a 100 megaton bomb (but only tested it at 50 megatons and never actually fielded it). Edward Teller proposed designing a gigaton range bomb but the design was rejected as having no military value (most of the blast of such a bomb would just go upward, just blowing all the atmosphere directly above the burst off into space). There is no theoretical limit for an atomic bomb that uses fusion to drive the fission of depleted uranium (U--238 which cannot support a neutron chain reaction but will fission from high energy fusion neutrons, and is plentiful). The energy released from the 1883 explosion of Krakatoa has been estimated to be equal to about 200 megatons of TNT (about 4 times that of the largest atomic test ever done: the USSR's 50 megaton device mentioned above). But unlike an atomic bomb Krakatoa's fallout was not radioactive.
