Too complex a question to answer. Depends on:
Yes, a fusion bomb (hydrogen bomb) would destroy New York City.
depends on yield an height/depth of burst.
Neither, effects would be mostly localized to 1000 mile area targeted. Effects of fallout radiation is unpredictable though due to weather, mostly wind and precipitation. Earth is far bigger.
it is impossible to tell because the force would destroy anyything, including a thermometer!
A gigaton is 1000 megatons so it would be destroy an an area the size of Louisiana. But of course there is no such thing as a gigaton for bombs. IN FACT, there are already 1+ gigaton nuclear weapons. A 1 GT bomb would destroy an area the size of Texas, just with the expansive wave. A 90 GT bomb could change the planet trajectory.
Wat would u like 2 no?
Because if the U.S fought Russia with nuclear missiles (which they both had) it would destroy the world.
It is difficult to answer how many nuclear bombs it would take to destroy England due to the fact that there are a variety of different nukes. It would most likely take around a couple of dozen.
not worth thinking about , a nuclear war would in itself be a chain reaction causing humanitys elimination . the earth cannot be destroyed but we can .
The Soviets already knew that the US had nuclear missiles in Turkey, placing nuclear missiles in Cuba would simply achieve nuclear parity. Also following the failed Bay of Pigs invasion the leader of Cuba Fidel Castro wanted assurance from the Soviets of their security against future invasion, the Soviets believed that nuclear missiles would provide this security at the least cost.
There was no bombing of nuclear missiles in Cuba. The US got them removed by just blockading (oops sorry I meant quarantining, a blockade would have been an act of war) Cuba until the USSR removed the missiles.
Yes there would be if only one was used.
When the ozone destroys, mankind will be lost. No life would be there.
One
If the atmosphere were destroyed, no life would be there. Mankind would extinct.
It depends on the size of the Nuclear device, anywhere from 5 square miles and up
In Star Blazers, missiles that can destroy a planet (and even a star) with a single hit exist.
