Estimates of the size of the meteorite that hit near modern day Chicxulub in the Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico 65 million years ago causing the extinction of the dinosaurs range from 10 to 20 km in diameter. The Chicxulub crater left behind by the meteorite is 180 km wide.

What was the bomb that wiped out the dinosaurs?

There was no bomb that wiped out the dinosaurs. Actually in the bible, the dinosaurs were wiped out by the flood when God flooded the whole world and save Noah, his family, and 2 of each animal. They were kept safe from the flood on the ark which is a big boat. Dinosaurs were not big enough to fit so they were killed by the flood. If you would like to know more info, it is in Genesis chapter 5 and 6 in the Bible In the scientific world, it is widely believed that a large meteor approximately the size of Washington DC collided with the Earth about 65 million years ago. The site of the impact is just off the northern tip of the Yucatan peninsula in Mexico. The crater left behind has been long since filled in by displaced ocean water and erosion.
