depends on the bomb.
- fission bombs have varied from under 4 inches in radius to 2.5 feet in radius.
- fusion bombs have varied from about 20 inches tall & 4 inches in radius to 80 feet tall & 10 feet in radius.

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.
What is the blast radius of a hydrogen bomb?
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.
Which is more destructive a nuclear bomb or a hydrogen bomb?
the hydrogen bomb, is a nuclear bomb
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.
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 500lb ANFO bomb?
150 yards
What is the blast radius of a bomb weighing 1.8 tons?
Impossible to answer. What type bomb, what explosive, what height detonation, etc.
Can a bomb be made from helium?
The only effect of a Helium bomb would be to make everyone in a 5-mile radius talk funny
What are the results of atomic bomb?
Pretty much the destruction of everything in a huge radius.
What is the greatest weapon?
It is the Hydro bomb, it successfully vaporizes all available water in a radius
What is the blast radius of the MOAB bomb?
150 yards- 6 super bowl stadiums
What would be the radius of a 300 megaton bomb?
Sorry, my nuclear bomb effects circular slide rule only goes up to 100MTon yield.
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.
What happens when a atomioc bomb explode?
Everything within the blast radius, which is about 10-15 miles, will die.
Did cancer kill more people than the atomic bomb did?
Absolutely, cancer has killed millions of people around the world!! Where as the atomic bomb was set off in a specific radius.
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.
