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.

∙ 15y agoHydrogen bomb = fusion. Atomic bomb = fission. Fusion bombs have a much bigger effect. Atomic bombs are actually at the center of fusion bombs---they are what fires them off.

∙ 12y agoa hydrogen (fusion bomb) is much more powerful, up to 10 times, than a atom bomb (fission bomb).
Wiki User
∙ 10y agoAs the question is worded, they are the same thing. You would need to be more specific.

Is the atomic bomb the most powerful bomb in the World?
No. The hydrogen bomb is the most powerful bomb in the world. The first atomic bombs split atoms of Uranium and/or Plutonium. Later development in theory and technology have made the Hydrogen bomb possible. This is in fact a 'normal' atomic bomb with a core of hydrogen. When the Atomic bomb goes off, this create an immense pressure on the hydrogen. This pressure (and heat) causes a fusion reaction of Hydrogen atoms. A 'relatively' small atomic bomb can trigger a quite large payload of hydrogen fusion material. Further developments of this massive destructive weapon has been to implement yet another core with radioactive material filled with more hydrogen. This inner core get super compressed by the first explosions, something of which drastically adds to the speed of material being consumed. Explosion being amplified tenfold. All such powerful devices are named 'nuclear' devices or nuclear bombs. Some are mostly a fission bomb, and others are mostly a fusion bomb. The fusion bombs are more powerful than fission bombs alone when comparing size and weight of 'stuff that go boom' Both fission and fusion bombs are considered atomic bombs, and their kind is among the most powerful devices known to man today. In theory, it should be possible to make an Antimatter payload. Something like a few grams could rival the energy released by the most powerful bombs today.
What's more dangerous nukes or atomic bomb?
Both bombs use nuclear reaction, the hydrogen bomb is more powerful because it uses the most abundant substance in the universe.
Which is most powerful the hydrogen bomb the atom bomb or the uranium bomb?
The 'uranium bomb' is an A-bomb and is a first generation nuclear weapon. The hydrogen bomb or H-bomb is a 2nd generation nuclear weapon and generally many times more powerful. 'H-bomb' can also refer to 3rd generation nuclear weapons that have an additional mass off uranium to provide further fuel, triggered by the 2nd generation fusion reaction; these are the most powerful. But recent studies show that the H-Bomb has more mass, therefore more energy, and therefore has more energy. So the H-bomb is more powerful.
What was a goal of president Truman ordering research of the hydrogen bomb?
WW2 ended with the nuclear attack on Japan. The cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki suffered the consciences of the nuclear bomb. With the United States using these powerful weapons, Russia begun research on the nuclear bomb and in a period of time, they got their nuclear bomb ready. The nations in power were in the "who got the most powerful bomb" race. The nuclear arms race was central to the Cold War. Many feared where the Cold War was going with the belief that the more nuclear weapons you had, the more powerful you were. Both America and Russia massively built up their stockpiles of nuclear weapons. The world greatly changed when USA exploded the H-bomb in 1952. This one bomb was smaller in size than the Hiroshima atomic bomb but 2500 times more powerful. The Russians produced an H-bomb in 1953 and the world became a much more dangerous place.
What was the most powerful weapon ever built?
Atom Bomb
What is the most powerful bomb ever put into existence?
Hydrogen bomb is the most powerful bomb
What is the most explosve bomb?
The hydrogen bomb is the most powerful bomb ever tested.
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.
What is the most powerful fusion weapon?
The hydrogen bomb basically it is the deuterium bomb which is a radioactive isotope of hydrogen.
Is the atomic bomb the World's strongest bomb?
No its actually the TACTICAL NUKE jk no its really the Tsar Bomb AN602 hydrogen bomb most powerful nuclear weapon ever detonated. Weight=60,000lbs, Length=26ft.

What bomb is more powerful then the atomic bomb?
The most powerful weapon currently being produced is the version of the "atomic bomb" that includes further stages. The thermonuclear fusion bomb (H-bomb, hydrogen bomb) can be made much more powerful by adding additional stages to it (more fission, more fusion). The most powerful potential explosive would be an annihilation weapon, combining anti-matter with matter. However, producing the necessary materials (anti-protons) is not feasible using existing technology.
What is the most powerful bomb in minecraft?
TNT without mods. With mods, the hydrogen bomb.
What was the most powerful weapon is World War II?
The Atomic bomb.
What is the difference between a hydrogen bomb and an Uranium bomb and which one is more powerful?
Hydrogen bomb gets some of its energy from fusion, uranium or plutonium bomb gets all of it from fission. Either can be more powerful, depending on the design. The most powerful bombs built have all been hydrogen bombs.
What is the most powerful bomb ever built?
The Atomic BOmb tested in New Mexico in the 70's
What is the hbomb?
A hydrogen bomb is, by far, the most destructive weapon that mankind has ever invented. It is the most powerful type of nuclear bomb.
