The terms "atomic bomb" and "nuclear bomb" are general terms and can pretty much be used interchangeably. That said, there isn't any difference between them, and one is not more powerful than the other in that light.

Is the atom bomb and a nuke the same?
No, an atomic bomb uses fission, but a nuclear or thermonuclear bomb combines fission and nuclear fusion. Therefore, a nuke is more powerful than an atom bomb.
What is more powerful a tornado or nuclear bomb?
An atomic bomb has more destructive potential, but a large, long-lived tornado would probably release more energy than a small nuclear weapon.
Which bomb is more dangerous a nuclear bomb or an atomic bomb?
A nuclear bomb and an atomic bomb are virtually synonymous. The two terms are both used to refer to a nuclear weapon. Even Wikipedia agrees. The use of either term as a search argument redirects the answer to the article Nuclear Weapon. A link is provided. from benjaminmarkiewicz that dont make any sense a nuclear bombs blow travels 100s of miles and is more powerful cause its the newly invented bomb and the atomic bombs blow travel is under a nuclear bombs travel rate
What bombs are much more powerful than the atomic bombs?
A hydrogen bomb.
How does a atmic bom blow up?
It's "Atomic Bomb." anyways, An Atomic Bomb works by initiating a nuclear chain reaction, which releases a huge amount of energy relative to conventional explosives. Per unit volume, an atom bomb may be millions or billions of times more powerful than TNT.
How has the atomic bomb changed overtime?
the A-bomb has got more powerful as the advances in nuclear physics has improved.
Is the atom bomb and a nuke the same?
No, an atomic bomb uses fission, but a nuclear or thermonuclear bomb combines fission and nuclear fusion. Therefore, a nuke is more powerful than an atom bomb.

Is an bomb or a nuclear weapon more powerful?
If by "bomb" you mean a conventional explosive weapon, then the nuclear weapon is more powerful.
What was the bomb 1000 times more powerful than the atomic bomb?
The bomb that was 1000 times more powerful than the atomic bomb is often referred to as the Tsar Bomba. It was a hydrogen bomb developed by the Soviet Union and tested on October 30, 1961. The Tsar Bomba had a yield of approximately 50 megatons, making it the most powerful nuclear weapon ever detonated.

Why did radiation occur after the atomic bomb hit Japan?
The atomic bombs are nuclear weapons that use a nuclear chain reaction to create a Hugh explosion. The by-product of the nuclear blast is radiation.Atomic explosion is created by setting off a lot of dynamite around a core of nuclear material. The blast compresses the material together and makes it unstable.A hydrogen bomb is a much more powerful bomb. It is the result of a small nuclear explosion that compresses more powerful radioactive material together and thus creating an explosion that is 100 times greater than an atomic bomb.
Which is more powerful napalm bomb or nuclear bomb?
Nuclear. Napalm is simply gelled gasoline fire bomb.
Why is a hydrogen bomb more devestating than an atomic bomb?
More powerful explosion.
Hydrogen bomb compared with atomic bomb?
A hydrogen or fusion bomb will be ten times more powerful than the original fission atomic bomb.
Does atomic explosion and nuclear explosion mean the same?
This question could be easily misconstrued. While atomic and nuclear explosion mean the same thing, and all atomic bombs are nuclear bombs, not all nuclear bombs are atomic bombs. The more powerful nuclear bombs are hydrogen bombs, and there is a very important fundamental difference between the two. ============================================================== A bomb is fission - the splitting of an atom H bomb is fusion - the joining together of atoms (and much more powerfull)
How did Albert Einstein change the future?
Albert Einstein's ideas lead to something more powerful than the atomic bomb. It lead to the nuclear bomb. The nuclear bomb blueprints spread to Japan,Russia, and China thus making this world a whole lot scarier.
