the warhead on the rocket is similar to a bomb, delivery method is different.
Hydrogen bombs use the same process of nuclear fusionthat powers the Sun.
Same as nuclear gravity bombs dropped by bomber aircraft.
Both basically are the same, they can be fission or fusion bombs like Uranium,Plutonium and Hydrogen bombs. A general description would be that atomic bombs are fission bombs. Nuclear bombs are fusion bombs. Fusion bombs are more powerful weight for weight
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)
'BOOM'
it might or might no be, one would have to know the yields of the 20 bombs as well as which eruption of vesuvius you are asking about. there is no such thing as a "typical" nuclear bomb yield or volcanic eruption.
It is difficult to determine the exact number of nuclear bombs it would take to kill everyone in the world, as many factors such as location and size of the bombs would come into play. However, it is estimated that a few hundred strategically placed nuclear bombs could have catastrophic global consequences.

Atomic bombs use nuclear fission to cause near perpetual chains of reactions. Nuclear warheads (Nukes) just sums up all the different types, including hydrogen bombs (which use nuclear fusion, a much more potent type of power) and atomic bombs. So yes, they are the same.
An atom bomb is a type of nuclear weapon that relies on nuclear fission, while "nuke" is a colloquial term used to refer to any type of nuclear weapon, including both fission and fusion bombs. So, all atom bombs are nukes, but not all nukes are atom bombs.
Atomic bombs use nuclear fission, where heavy atomic nuclei split into smaller ones releasing energy and radiation. Hydrogen bombs use both nuclear fission and fusion, with fusion reactions involving the combining of light atomic nuclei to release even more energy and radiation. Hydrogen bombs are typically more powerful and produce higher levels of radiation compared to atomic bombs.
They are similar, but different. Research continued after WWII and developed more efficient methods of producing nuclear explosions. H-bombs are very much more powerful that A-bombs were.
