If it does, it is not very effective. MOST are designed to explode when they are more than 1000 ft above the ground.

Where does the atom bomb explode on the air or on the ground?
In the air above the target
Diameter of destruction from atomic bomb?
Depends on the size of the bomb (they come in many different sizes- bigger is more destructive) and how high the bomb is above ground when it explodes. Most are set to explode when several hundred feet above ground.
Which is more destructive a nuclear bomb or a hydrogen bomb?
the hydrogen bomb, is a nuclear bomb
What year did the USA explode the worlds first hydrogen bomb?
1952 Ivy Mike. Tested on Eugelab island of Eniwetok Atoll. Erased the island.
What is the different between atomic bomb and hydrogen bombs?
A hydrogen bomb is an atom bomb; just one that uses hydrogen.
When did china explode their first hydrogen bomb?
June 1967.
When did Russians explode the H-Bomb?
Post WWII, Russians tested a hydrogen bomb. It was first deployed in 1960.
Where does the atom bomb explode on the air or on the ground?
In the air above the target
Where does hydrogen for bomb making come from?
There are 2 isotopes of hydrogen needed to make a hydrogen bomb: deuterium and tritium. Deuterium occurs naturally in small amounts mixed with ordinary hydrogen (just like uranium-235 occurs naturally in small amounts in natural uranium), it is obtained by a heavy water enrichment cascade using ordinary water as the input feed. Tritium does not occur naturally and must be manufactured by irradiating lithium with neutrons. Lithium is mined from the ground. The easiest way to manufacture the tritium for a hydrogen bomb is the in situ processwhere the bomb does it itself. The fuel for such a hydrogen bomb is lithium deuteride, fission generated neutrons irradiate the lithium deuteride, manufacturing tritium which mixes with the deuterium and the bomb is now ready to explode!Using a mixture of deuterium and tritium isotopes of hydrogen in the fusion bomb makes it practical as this mixture has the lowest ignition temperature.So to sum up your answer:deuterium is taken from watertritium is manufactured in the bomb from lithium, which is mined from the ground

Why did the atomic bomb explode before it hit the ground?
Tthe bomb is detonated before it hits the gound covering a wider area of effect, thus leaving more destruction then it would if it hit the ground.
Soviets explode their first atomic bomb?
when Soviets explode first atomic bomb
How powerful is a hydrogen bomb?
A hydrogen bomb is approximately 4.87 times more powerful than an atom bomb. What makes these bombs so powerful is that hydrogen is an extremely inflammable and explosive gas. When the bomb is released, the special coating used on its shell captures tons of friction, which heats the bomb. Then the detonator button is pressed, and the bomb blows up. Also, if the bomb comes in contact with the ground, before the button is pressed, then the heat absorbed by the bomb will set fire to the hydrogen inside and blow the bomb up.
Did the nuclear bomb dropped on japan explode on impact or in mid air?
The bombs that were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki were atomic bombs and not nuclear bombs and were designed to explode above the ground and not on impact.
Which is more destructive a nuclear bomb or a hydrogen bomb?
