How does a nuke create such a big explosion?
A nuclear bomb creates a big explosion through a process called nuclear fission, where the nuclei of atoms are split apart, releasing a huge amount of energy in the form of heat, light, and shock waves. This release of energy happens very quickly, causing a powerful and destructive explosion.
Nuclear bomb explosion detonation point?
The detonation point of a nuclear bomb explosion is where the bomb is triggered to release its energy. This can occur either in the air, on the ground, or underwater, depending on the desired impact and effect of the explosion. The detonation point is carefully chosen to maximize the destructive potential of the bomb.
Can a nuclear reactor explode as a nuclear bomb?
Highly unlikely if not altogether impossible. In a core meltdown, you might see a steam explosion if the core melts and breaches the containment structure and hits say cooling water. But even a runaway chain reaction in a reactor would not cause a nuclear explosion like a bomb.
Can a nuclear reactor detonate the way a nuclear bomb can?
No, a nuclear reactor cannot detonate like a nuclear bomb. Nuclear reactors use controlled fission reactions to generate heat for electricity, while nuclear bombs use uncontrolled chain reactions to create an explosion. The design and purpose of a reactor prevent it from causing a nuclear explosion.
Was the atomic bomb the worlds biggest nuclear explosion?
No. Hydrogen Bombs have been detonated that make the atomic bomb look small in comparison. The Atomic Bombs dropped on Japan in WW2 were 25 Kton (equivilent to 25000 tons of dynamite), while H bombs can be as big as several hundred Megaton (million tons of dynamite)
What do you call the explosion called from an atomic bomb?
a nuclear explosion
Will chickens survive a nuclear bomb?
Noboby can survive a nuclear bomb if he is within explosion distance.
How big does a plane have to be to drop a nuclear bomb?
That depends on how big the nuclear bomb is.
Where was the worlds worst nuclear explosion?
I'm not sure but the strongest bomb is the hydrogen bomb
How is a nuclear bomb different then a nuclear accident?
An nuclear bomb is purposefully release to pulse out damage. A nuclear accident, on the other hand, is an accident when a nuclear source (usually referring to a nuclear plant) either blows up or leaks. Although it is normally weaker and less dangerous than a nuclear bomb, a big enough explosion or a serious enough nuclear meltdown can break that limit.
Why does a mushroom cloud form after a nuclear bomb explosion?
Gravity if forming the clouds from the atomic bomb.
How big is the crater that is caused from a nuclear explosion?
The size of the crater created from a nuclear explosion can vary depending on the size of the bomb and the type of terrain it impacts. In general, a nuclear explosion can create a crater several hundred meters wide and tens of meters deep, with larger bombs resulting in larger craters.
How does a nuke create such a big explosion?

Why does the atomic bomb make an explosion?
uncontrolled nuclear fission and/or fusion.
Why did a nuclear explosion happen?
because the bomb was designed to make it so.

This can occur either in the air, on the ground, or underwater, depending on the desired impact and effect of the explosion. The detonation point is carefully chosen to maximize the destructive potential of the bomb.
Bomb created by splitting atoms?
A nuclear bomb is created by splitting atoms through a process called nuclear fission. This releases a massive amount of energy in the form of a nuclear explosion.
