Depends entirely on its yield.
Some hydrogen bombs had yields less than 1MT, some more. Others could provide a wide range of yields, all in one bomb. The user just needed to select the best yield for the particular application.
So a 1MT bomb would have a blast radius of several 10s of miles, a 50MT bomb would have a blast radius of 100's of miles. The curvature of the Earth can help protect from heat and radiation, but the blast wave can reach beyond the horizon due to atmospheric focusing.

How many square miles is the blast radius of an atom bomb?
square miles and radius have different units
What is the blast radius for a nuclear bomb?
That is approximately proportional to the cubed root of its yield. This is also true of conventional bombs.
Which is more destructive a nuclear bomb or a hydrogen bomb?
the hydrogen bomb, is a nuclear bomb
What is the different between atomic bomb and hydrogen bombs?
A hydrogen bomb is an atom bomb; just one that uses hydrogen.
What is the blast radius of 250 gallon propane tank?
The blast radius of a 250 gallon propane tank would be 100 yards
What is the blast radius for a 500lb ANFO bomb?
150 yards
How big is a nuclear blast radius?
Little Boy was the nuclear bomb detonated over Hiroshima. It used uranium and had an explosive blast equivalent to 12,500 tons of TNT. A 1 megaton hydrogen bomb, hypothetically detonated on the earth's surface, has about 80 times the blast power of that 1945 explosion. Considering the tonnage of a bomb to be contant, The blast radius varies dependent on whether it is a ground burst or an airburst. Further, the height of the airburst above ground affects the radius too. At a height of 1900 feet above ground, Little Boy produced a blast radius of 1 mile; an area of some 4.7 square miles.
How many square miles is the blast radius of an atom bomb?

What is the blast radius of a bomb weighing 1.8 tons?
Impossible to answer. What type bomb, what explosive, what height detonation, etc.
What is the blast radius of the MOAB bomb?
150 yards- 6 super bowl stadiums
What is the blast radius of a SCUD-B?
It has a blast radius of 160m to 250m. The bomb weighs 5 kg containing 1.2 kg of HE. The missile is 11.2 m long and has a diameter if 0.88m.
What happens when a atomioc bomb explode?
Everything within the blast radius, which is about 10-15 miles, will die.
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 the blast radius for a nuclear bomb?
That is approximately proportional to the cubed root of its yield. This is also true of conventional bombs.
What would be the blast radius of a 200 megaton nuclear bomb?
Well i did some rough estimates...prob be like 56 milesA blast radius is equal to the square root of the megatonage. A 1 megaton bomb has a blast radius of severe damage of about 4 miles. Therefore a 200 megaton bomb (14 being about the square root) would have about a 56 mile radius. Though direct exposure to the explosion at that distance could probably still cause severe burns and it would probably cause damage as much as 200 miles out.
Would you feel anything if a atom bomb went off?
It depends on if you are within the blast radius of an atomic bomb...<br><br>If you are within the firey blast radius of the bomb, then no. You will feel nothing at all. The heat from an atom bomb is so intense that not only does it sear your nerve endings shut, it completely turns you into dust. So, in other words, you will be dead before your brain comprehends what has happened.
When did Meenambakkam bomb blast happen?
Meenambakkam bomb blast happened in 1984.
