It is not possible to give a sensible answer to this question for a number of reasons. There is no standard nuclear bomb: the bomb that was dropped on Hiroshima (Little Boy) had a yield of less than 20,000 tons of TNT. In 1961 the USSR exploded a nuclear bomb (Tsar Bomba) with a yield of 50,000,000 tons of TNT. The damage that a nuclear device can deliver depends on the altitude at which it is detonated. Also, in addition to the immediate effect of the blast, there are long term effects from radioactive debris being blown into the upper atmosphere and coming down later.
As an example of the latter, the explosion at the nuclear reactor at Chernobyl led to radioactive rainfall in the UK. Such effects will depend on prevailing winds and other weather conditions.

What bomb had the greatest damage on earth?
There isn't a one answer but a nuclear bomb and M.O.A.B is all i can think of :).
What is the damage a nuclear bomb will do to you?
Depends on where I am and many many factors about the bomb. It may have no effect on me or it might kill me instantly or anywhere in between.
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.
How far does a nuclear bomb blow?
well it depends on which kind of nuclear bomb try this http://www.carloslabs.com/projects/200712B/GroundZero.html iyou select a bomb type and then click nuke it and it rough ly shows how much damage the specific bomb would inflict.
What is the blast radius of a nuclear weapon?
That depends on what you're referring to: The fireball radius (the nuclear explosion itself), the total anhiliation range radius, and etc. For example, the bomb launched on Hiroshima had a fireball of several hundred feet in radius, a 1km total destruction range radius, and severe damage for miles. For firepower bombs (nuclear bombs made for power show & not effectiveness) The Tsar bomba of USSR had 50~55 megatons of TNT firepower, a fireball with 1km+ radius, total destruction for miles, and created a sound shockwave that could be heard in Norway/Other far Northern European areas. Modern nuclear weapons don't have a single blast radius; the U.S. developed M.I.R.V.s (cluster nuclear bombs) that spread apart to create a shotgun blast of multiple nuclear explosions.

What damage does a nuclear bomb to a regular bomb?
first off, of course, a nuclear bomb is thousands of times stronger than a normal bomb. a nuclear bomb also carries radiation, energy that causes poisoning and cancer, while most normal bombs cant do that.
What World War 2 inventions did a lot of damage?
nuclear bomb
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.
What would be the radius of a 300 megaton bomb?
Sorry, my nuclear bomb effects circular slide rule only goes up to 100MTon yield.
How is a nuclear bomb different then a nuclear accident?
An nuclear bomb is purposefully release to pulse out damage. A nuclear accident, on the other hand, is an accident when a nuclear source (usually referring to a nuclear plant) either blows up or leaks. Although it is normally weaker and less dangerous than a nuclear bomb, a big enough explosion or a serious enough nuclear meltdown can break that limit.
What would be the damage if a nuclear bomb went off?
That will depend on the size of the bomb, how far above ground it explodes, and how far away it is from you.

Sentence for radiation?
The Nuclear bomb poured out harmful Radiation everywhere within a one hundred mile radius.
What are negative effects of Nuclear bomb?
Long Term effects due to radiation Massive Damage to buildings Radioactive area where the bomb exploded
