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 .
Depends on how high you go. If you launch all the missiles in the world. It could destroy the earth plenty of times.
theoretically the yield of nuclear weapons is unlimited.
I'm not sure if I can produce 10 but I can give you a few.Christians believe Jesus will come back. People will be judged and when all evil is destroyed He will make a new world.Scientists believe a meteor will strike the Earth. It's not a matter of if but when this will happen. Even a small meteor could be a disaster for all life on Earth. We could go the way of the dinosaurs.Military experts believe it is a real possiblity that we could destroy the Earth by our own weapons. There are enough nuclear missiles in the world today that could destroy the entire world many times over.Ecologists believe if we continue to pollute our environment world-wide the Earth will be unable to sustain life. Ours and all the wildlife and living things on this planet.
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.
Before I tell you, you got to believe that the end of the world won't happen in 2012 December 21st. It will happen in billions of years from today. People believe that Niburu will hit the Earth who is 4 times as big as our planet and destroy us (people trying to make money). Another reason is that the Sun will cook the planet and destroy us even if Niburu doesn't (also fake).I don't know how many things people think would destroy Earth but keep in mind... it is all fake.
The earth revolved around the sun 1403 times between 140-1543.
Four Times Over
Less than the total number in existence right now ! Countries around the planet have enough nuclear warheads to destroy every living thing on earth many times over !
Once, because the first time The USA, UK, Canada and France will attack instantly after the first!
It may take a thousand of tons on TNT to pack a nuclear bomb. But to destroy the earth, it may take billions to trillions tons of TNT plus a nuclear igniter to blow the earth to bits of dust.
Surprisingly few ! The 'super powers' have enough nuclear weapons between them - to destroy humanity many times over !
There hasn't been a test on that yet, it would also depend on how big the warheads carried were.
One
It depends on the size of the Nuclear device, anywhere from 5 square miles and up
In theory, you can't destroy something and then destroy it again...
No. Earth is an example of many things, such as an uneven rock with water in its low places, but earth is not energy, least of all nuclear.
The tsunami destroyed many buildings and damaged nuclear reactors
Trillions of them, at least. Luckily for us, distances in space are huge, and the things that can destroy Earth are far away.
