Which one does more damage the atomic bomb or the thermonuclear bomb?

still, an normal atomic bomb is more powerful. a thermonuclear bomb can easily take out a base since the thermal energy it produces will easily deep-roast everything it touches, but it doesnt turn an entire city into ash in seconds, as do with a normal atomic bomb.

What is stronger between the atomic bomb and hydrogen bomb?
In general, a fusion bomb (hydrogen bomb) is more powerful than a fission (atomic) bomb. Fusion bombs use an atomic bomb to begin the fusion reaction.
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 was the largest nuclear bomb?
When people talk about nuclear bombs, they are generally in two categories; atomic and thermonuclear. Atomic bombs are like the ones dropped on Japan in 1945.Thermonuclear bombs have never been used in warfare and involve using an atomic bomb to set off an explosion of a thermonuclear bomb, like a hydrogen bomb.IN ADDITION:The Soviet exploded the largest nuclear bomb to date back in 1961. It was a hydrogen bomb which released energy equivalent to 57 megatons of TNT. Compare that to the 15 kilotons of energy released by the first atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima Japan during WWII ( 3,800 times more energy released). The name of this device was Tsar Bomba, meaning "king of bombs."
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.
Why are thermonuclear bombs more disastrous than the normal bombs?
much higher yield per bomb.
Hydrogen bomb compared with atomic bomb?
A hydrogen or fusion bomb will be ten times more powerful than the original fission atomic bomb.
Which bomb has a faster energy nuclear bomb or atomic bomb?
I am not sure what is meant by the phrase faster energy. As far as the difference. A nuclear bomb can refer to a fission device (also known as atomic bomb). Or it can be a thermonuclear device (combining both fission and fusion reactions), which yields a larger blast energy from the same amount of material.For some reason, links are not allowed to be added right now, so go to Wikipedia and type in "Nuclear Weapon" for more information.
Why is a hydrogen bomb more devestating than an atomic bomb?
More powerful explosion.
Did the radiation improve in Hiroshima and Nagasaki after the atomic bomb?
Yes, the radiation was much more abundant after the atomic bomb.
Did John Dalton study the atomic bomb?
No, he died more than 100 years before the atomic bomb was built.
atomic bomb?
much more powerful than other bomb ,also called a neuclear bomb
What is better atomic weapons or nuclear weapons?
Often these terms are used interchangeably to describe "nuclear weapons" since an atomic bomb derives it's energy from a nuclear chain reaction. What you may be referring to is that the original test and subsequent bombs dropped on Japan during WWII were fission bombs with the Trinity test bomb and Nagasaki bomb being implosion style fission bombs using Plutonium and the Hiroshima bomb being a gun style fission bomb using Uranium. Subsequently, the United States began testing the early prototypes of the modern style warheads which are called thermonuclear weapons because they use a fission bomb to ignite a nuclear fusion reaction which produces a substantially larger yield than the initial fission bombs. The first test of a thermonuclear weapon was a hydrogen bomb detonated in 1952. So in terms of yield, the modern style thermonuclear weapons are drastically more efficient than the early fission bombs.
