why don't you try that

No need to, already been done. It creates a new "radiation belt", causing bright auroral displays at both pole regions. The radiation belt can damage or destroy the electronics of any unhardened satellites that cross the belt.

What is the difference between a bomb and an nuclear bomb?

Basically, a conventional bomb uses a chemical explosive as the source of its destructive power. A nuclear weapon uses nuclear material to create an explosion. A nuclear explosion is much larger, and also emits ionizing radiation. A chemical weapon does not emit any radiation. A nuclear weapon's yield is measured in Kilotons (thousand tons). In very simplified terms, this means that a nuclear weapon with a 475 kiloton yield produces an explosion comparable to 475,000 tons of TNT (TNT is a chemical explosive). That's A LOT of TNT and it would take up a bit of space. A nuclear weapon with this yield may only be a few feet long and a foot wide, and the actual nuclear material may be the size of a grapefruit.

Have they ever blown up a bomb in outer space?

Yes. The U.S. Air Force conducted several nuclear weapon tests in space back in the late 1950s and early '60s. There were some spectacular "atomic fireworks" visible from Honolulu. There have been none in the last 45 years or so, since the Nuclear Test Ban Treaty banned nuclear weapons tests except in sealed underground bunkers.
