Which is stronger Nuclear Bomb or Hydrogen Bomb?

Nuclear bombs is all types of bombs that use nuclear energy. It is not a type of bomb,just a category of bombs. hydrogen bomb is the strongest bomb ever, and its blast yield can go up to 100megatons of TNT.


What is an hydrogen bomb?

A hydrogen bomb is a nuclear weapon that releases atomic energy by union of light(hydrogen) nuclear at high temperatures to form helium.


What form of energy does the hydrogen bomb use?

Atomic energy, released by the fusion of hydrogen isotopes to make helium.


Detonation of a fusion type hydrogen bomb is started by?

Detonating a fission bomb.


How is energy produced in sun core?

By thermonuclear fusion of hydrogen, producing helium. The same process that produces the energy in a hydrogen bomb (although the sun fuses far more hydrogen in the same period of time than the largest hydrogen bomb ever speculated would fuse during its entire explosion, thus producing more energy than such a bomb).

What is the difference between atom bombs and hydrogen bombs?

An atomic bomb is a fission bomb, which uses a type of heavy radioactive metal (usually uranium 235 or plutonium 239). Neutrons split this metal up, resulting in a release of a lot of energy (this is what happens in nuclear power stations). A hydrogen bomb is a fusion bomb, which comes in two parts: a fission device (A-bomb) and a fuel cell composed of hydrogen. The fission device is detonated and the radiation fuses the hydrogen together to form helium, thus also releasing a lot of energy (this is what happens in stars).
