The detonation of an atomic fission weapon at-or-near ground level draws vast quantities of material into the atmosphere. In the event of multiple such detonations, so much dust can be drawn into the atmosphere that the sun is effectively blocked from view of the planet's surface; a nuclear eclipse. In a theoretical end-of-world scenario, if the sun becomes eclipsed for a prolonged duration, blocking the light and heat of the sun from the surface, this may become what is called a Nuclear Winter.
