The largest nuclear bomb ever detonated was the Soviet Union's Tsar Bomba in 1961, which had a yield of 50 megatons. It was the most powerful nuclear weapon ever created and tested.
That depends on how big the nuclear bomb is.
The size of a nuclear bomb can vary depending on its yield, but generally speaking, they are relatively small and can be easily transported by planes or missiles. The largest nuclear bombs ever detonated were in the range of 50-100 megatons, but most current nuclear weapons have yields in the kiloton range.
As big as the largest star
As of now, Russia possesses the largest nuclear bomb in the world known as the Tsar Bomba. It was tested in 1961 and had a yield of 50 megatons, making it the most powerful nuclear bomb ever detonated.
It wasn't just one bomb.. It was a huge nuclear bombardment during the Great War with China.
The largest megaton bomb ever detonated was the Soviet Union's Tsar Bomba in 1961, with a yield of about 50 megatons. It was the most powerful nuclear weapon ever created and tested.
An nuclear bomb is purposefully release to pulse out damage. A nuclear accident, on the other hand, is an accident when a nuclear source (usually referring to a nuclear plant) either blows up or leaks. Although it is normally weaker and less dangerous than a nuclear bomb, a big enough explosion or a serious enough nuclear meltdown can break that limit.
Big boom!!
It is unlikely for a nuclear bomb or reaction to blow up a whole state. The explosive power of a nuclear bomb is devastating, but the physical size of a typical state is much larger. The impact of a nuclear explosion would be significant within a certain radius, but it would not cover an entire state.
No, a nuclear bomb is not the biggest bomb. The largest conventional bomb in terms of explosive yield is the MOAB (Massive Ordnance Air Blast), also known as the "Mother of All Bombs." It is a non-nuclear bomb developed by the United States.
A nuclear bomb is a type of bomb that releases energy from splitting atoms (fission), whereas a plutonium bomb specifically uses plutonium as the primary fissile material to create the explosive chain reaction. Plutonium bombs are a subset of nuclear bombs.
That depends on the cube root of the yield. The fireball of a 10 megaton bomb reaches about 3 miles diameter.
