Could an atomic bomb destroy the earth?
Absolutely not 100,000 cant even destroy a continent like europe. to have a bomb destroy the world it would have to weigh at least 500 petatons of tnt which is about 200 million billion tons of tnt, a lot. An atomic war world wide with thousands of unleashed bombs would do little more to the planet earth than an ant hive does in our world. A nuciance, but that is probably all it will be. Life on earth as we know it would probably be at stake though. Atomic bombs are those with the most dangerous after-effects. Radioactive fallout that will be active for 50-100 years afterwards at least. Long term effects not fully known yet.
Why was the atomic bomb dropped on Japan in world war 2 have so much TNT?
The bomb did not have tnt. The atomic power is measurred using tnt was the base. TNT is a unit of energy equal to 4.184 gigajoules, which is approximately the amount of energy released in the detonation of one ton of TNT, and a bomb with one kiloton has the blast compared to one ton of tnt.
Who was the major leader of the Soviet Union throughout the war?
Joseph Stalin, the dictator of the Soviet Union was the leader of Russia, and he did get much out of Roosevelt during conferences. He soon learned the basics of building an atomic bomb as Roosevelt was a bit loose with the subject. That lead to the Cold War in which there were enough atomic and nuclear bombs and missiles to destroy the globe, or the Earth.
Is an atom bomb the same as an atomic bomb?
Atomic bombs use nuclear fission to cause near perpetual chains of reactions. Nuclear warheads (Nukes) just sums up all the different types, including hydrogen bombs (which use nuclear fusion, a much more potent type of power) and atomic bombs. So yes, they are the same.
Could nuclear bomb destroy US?
There are currently no nuclear weapons big enough that just one could destroy the US. It is possible that enough of them could pretty much destroy our way of life for decades to come.
How much land does the largest atomic bomb destroy?
Over 12 miles.
How much energy does an atomic bomb produce?
Alot
How much energy was in the atomic bombs that were dropped in Hiroshima?
It was about 12 kilotons.
Does a hurricane release as much energy as an atomic bomb in 1 second?
Yes.
How solar energy is critical to your lives?
Solar energy is roughly 1378 watts per meter coming on to our planet. Without this energy we would be a cold dead planet, with gravity.It is absolutely a much needed energy source.
How much land does an atomic bomb destroy?
depends on too many variables to say. the main variable is the yields of the bombs used.
How much energy is produced from an atomic bomb?
That is highly variable depending on many design features. The yield is directly proportional to energy release.
Has a supernova destroyed a planet?
There is no evidence, but the chances are very high. The explosive force of a supernova is enough to destroy a close planet or expel it into outer space. Even if it did not, the loss of mass would force any planet into a much greater orbit.
Is a joule the simplest form of energy?
Joule is not a form of energy, it is a unit used to measure energy. For small amounts of energy, sub-units can be used, such as millijoule, microjoule, etc. At the atomic level, the non-SI unit eV (electron-volt) is often used - which is much, much smaller than a Joule.Joule is not a form of energy, it is a unit used to measure energy.

Is the earths formation a source of thermal energy?
Much of the Earth's heat was leftover when the planet was formed
What causes a planet to become a star?
A planet cannot become a star. A star is an object that is massive enough to release energy via nuclear fusion. A planet is much less massive.
What other names are there for nuclear energy?
Nuclear power, atomic power used to be the term used but is now not used so much.
