Nobody has ever had enough bombs to blow up the earth! The figure that there are enough nuclear weapons to kill everybody on the earth 10, 20, 50, or however many times over is an entirely different issue (and is very speculative). It may have been true in the middle 1980s at the peak of the arms race, but since START was signed total number of weapons have fallen continuously.

∙ 8y agoEarth has a gravitational binding energy of about 2.5* 10^32 Joules. This is the absolute minimum amount of energy needed to destroy the planet. While the Hiroshima bomb release about 6.7*10^13 Joules. So it would take at least 3.7*10^18 or about 3.7 quintillion Hiroshima bombs to completely destroy the planet.

- yields
- burst height/depth
- your definition of blow up
- etc.

How many bombs would it take to blow up the sun?
To say how many nuclear bombs it would take to blow up the sun is almost impossible. Actually the sun is a continuously exploding thermonuclear bomb, that's where the energy comes from - fusion. It doesn't matter how many bombs you shot into the sun, it would just get hotter.
