that would depend on yield and where they were detonated. but the answer is more than have ever been built or could be built.

It would depend on the size of the bomb.

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.


How many nuclear bombs would it take to blow up the US?

depends on how big the bombs are, if they were as big as Tsar Bomba (Soviet bomb 60MT) it would take about from 15-25 no you retard it would take about 15-25 to blow the usa NT the us it would take 10 a-bombs to kill every living thing (cuz of the radiation)


How many nuclear bombs would it take to blow up the world?

About 10700000000000000000000000 h bombsThis is a complicated function of:yieldslocations of burstsmaterial around burstsetc.It would be far far easier to just blow away the atmosphere and leave the earth alone and even far far easier to light firestorms in all the forests and fill the stratosphere with soot for decades causing nuclear winter.


How many nuclear bombs would it take to blow up the moon?

Anywhere from 1 to trillions, depending on:yieldburst height/depthburst slant rangeetc.


How many nuclear bombs does it take to blow up Pluto?

Cannot be answered as there are too many variables, only one of which is the yield of the bombs used.


How many nuclears bombs to blow up the earth?

Do you mean - to kill everybody, or - to make the Earth disintegrate? It also depends on how big the bombs are and where they are placed.


What happens if you microwave a cockroach?

actually i think they are not because roaches can survive nuclear bombs so i think microwaves will be no prblem

Why woundn't anyone drop the atomic bomb to end life on earth?

Your question assumes someone would not blow up the world with atomic bombs. That is a fallacy. There are a few humans in this world who would be insane enough to issue enough nuclear bombs in order to destroy the world. They would not be considered "sane rational people" by the rest of the world. Humanity wants to preserve itself. Therefore people are not inclined to "blow up the world". If a poll was taken around the world you would probably learn that people do not want to end the world via nuclear elimination. They want to live and enjoy peace around the world. That is why people would NOT blow up the world with atomic weapons.


Could a Nuclear war actually crack the planet in two?

No.There are not enough bombs to do this.There are no bombs of high enough yield to do this.Bombs of high enough yield to do this would have to be buried deep in the earth's mantle to do this; otherwise they would simply blow away the atmosphere leaving the earth itself "untouched".No country fighting a nuclear war would spend the effort and money to bury gigantic nuclear bombs deep in the earth's mantle, when it would be much easier and cheaper to simply drop lots of low to medium yield (~10 KTon to 500 KTon) bombs from above on their enemy. Drilling into the earth's mantle is not even possible with current drilling technology (Project MOHO in the 1950s to do this was a complete failure and no significant such work has been done since).Don't worry, you would be dead due to any of dozens of other nuclear weapon effects (from blast all the way to decades long nuclear winter) in an actual nuclear war before the earth itself would be touched. Even in a war that incinerated and radioactively sterilized the entire surface of the earth, the majority of the biological mass on earth (subterranean bacteria) would not even notice the war and in a few thousand years would fully repopulate the surface and evolution would continue as it did from many other massive extinctions.High yield bombs (~1 MTon and larger) are rare these days as their military effectiveness per Ton of yield is much lower than that of lower yield bombs. The major reason in the 1950s and 1960s for very high yield bombs was targeting inaccuracy. Modern delivery systems have much better targeting accuracy.
