If you detonated a 100 megaton hydrogen bomb on jupiterwould it ignite the atmospere?
Raccetturi
No. Jupiter's atmosphere is mostly hydrogen, which is flammable, but since there is virtually no oxygen in Jupiter's atmosphere combustion is not possible.

∙ 6y agoNot quite sure what you mean by "ignite the atmosphere"; I am pretty sure that it would not be able to provoke a runaway chain reaction, if that's what you mean.

Which is more damaging Atom bomb or megaton bomb?
Well there is no "Megaton" bombs, but there are hydrogen bombs in the megaton range and they are a lot more powerful. An Atomic bomb can destroy a city. A Hydrogen bomb can destroy a country.
What explosion in the upper solar atmosphere releases about as much energy as millions of 100-megaton hydrogen bombs exploding simultaneously?
A solar flare
What equals 100 billion one-megaton hydrogen bombs per second?
our sun conversion pressure which is 600 millions tons of hydrogen to 595 millions tons of helium per second
Explosion takes place on the moon will it be seen?
It depends how big the explosion is. A stick of dynamite exploding on the moon would obviously not be visible to a naked eye on Earth, but a 100 Megaton hydrogen bomb might be.
What is the largest megaton bomb?
atom bomb
What is the most giant hydrogen bomb?
The 50 Megaton "Tsar Bomba" hydrogen bomb tested by the USSR in 1961 is the strongest hydrogen bomb ever detonated. The 10 Megaton "Ivy Mike" hydrogen bomb tested by the U.S. in 1952 is the physically largest hydrogen bomb ever detonated.

How destructive is today's hydrogen bomb?
The most powerful hydrogen bomb ever built had a 50 megaton yield (USSR "Tsar Bomba" 1961), the most powerful hydrogen bomb ever built by the U.S. had a 20 megaton yield ("dirty" high yield warhead for the Titan ICBM, only tested in reduced yield 9 megaton "clean" version). The typical hydrogen bomb in stockpile today is only about 100 kiloton to 300 kiloton as it had been demonstrated that yields higher than this really have little practical military value and actually produce less damage than lower total yield in multiple weapons detonated at multiple locations across the target area.
What is the biggest nuke on earth?
The "Tsar Bomba" was the biggest bomb ever detonated, at 50 megatons. The U.S has bombs ranging in yield of 0.01 Kilotons, to about 1 Megaton. The reason for 1 megaton, is that there is no real benefit of having them any bigger.
Was the atomic bomb the worlds biggest nuclear explosion?
No. Hydrogen Bombs have been detonated that make the atomic bomb look small in comparison. The Atomic Bombs dropped on Japan in WW2 were 25 Kton (equivilent to 25000 tons of dynamite), while H bombs can be as big as several hundred Megaton (million tons of dynamite)
What is the biggest nuclear weapon?
The most powerful nuclear weapon detonated was the Tsar Bomb which was a 50 megaton thermo-nuclear bomb that was tested in October 30, 1961, in the Novaya Zemlya archipelago
What was the largest bomb ever detonated?
The largest atomic bomb ever built, or detonated, was the Tsar Bomb (????-?????) RDS-220 code named "Ivan" by the Soviet Union. Originally built as a 100 MegaTon (100,000,000 ton) three stage Hydrogen bomb, it was changed to 50 MegaTon to limit fallout. Detonated on October 30th, 1961. Caveat: This information is based upon public information and releases, if there is a larger bomb it was never disclosed to the public in any fasion.
Which is bigger a joule or megaton?
a megaton is bigger..
What explosion in the upper solar atmosphere releases about as much energy as millions of 100-megaton hydrogen bombs exploding simultaneously?
A solar flare
What would happen if a 100 megaton nuclear weapon were detonated under Mount Everest?
No one has actually tried this before, and no physics engine has ever managed to imitate effects of such great force, so therefore it is quite hard to answer this question.
What equals 100 billion one-megaton hydrogen bombs per second?
our sun conversion pressure which is 600 millions tons of hydrogen to 595 millions tons of helium per second
When was Megaton Shotblast created?
Megaton Shotblast was created in 2001.
