mega = million. so megaton = million tons.
Often used as a comparative power, where the tons referred to are tons of TNT.
So, the Hiroshima bomb was about 20kt. = 20 000 tons of TNT.
Naturally, this unit ignores effects beyond simple blast, effects such as heat and radiation.

How much damage can a supernova cause?
The Little Boy atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima exploded with an energy of about 15 kilotons of TNT (~6 × 10^13 joules) During the Cold War, the United States developed hydrogen bombs with a maximum theoretical yield of 25 megatons (~10^15 Joules) A Supernova releases as much energy as the Sun emits in it's entire life or 1044 joules which is about ten octillion megatons of TNT (~10^28 joules) So you'd need about 10 trillon (~10^13) of the most powerful hydrogen bombs to equal a supernova. The most powerful hydrogen bomb was the Tsar Bomb created by the Soviet Union. It was designed to output over 100 megatons of TNT but was reduced to 50 megatons in order to reduce fall out.
