How many times stronger a H-Bomb is stronger than atom Bomb?
You are confused, a nuclear bomb is a general name covering both "atomic bomb" and "hydrogen bomb". A hydrogen bomb is typically higher yield than an atomic bomb, although it is possible to design very small low yield hydrogen bombs for special purposes that have lower yield than "typical" atomic bombs. However for "typical" hydrogen bombs their yield is roughly 1000 times the yield of a "typical" atomic bomb.
