2,000 degrees in the fire blanket.

The temperature at ground zero in Hiroshima at the moment of the atomic bomb explosion in 1945 reached several million degrees Celsius, instantly vaporizing everything in the immediate vicinity.
The temperature at the hypocenter of the atomic bomb in Hiroshima reached around 7,000 degrees Fahrenheit (3,870 degrees Celsius). This extreme heat generated a powerful fireball and caused widespread destruction in the city.
The first atom bomb was the test explosion at the White Sands test range in New Mexico. The first use in anger was at Hiroshima in Japan.
Yes. About 172,000.The cities population was about 340,000 in 1945. When the atomic bomb exploded over Hiroshima the death toll came to 168,000.Note: I visited the Atomic Bomb Memorial site in Hiroshima. It is a very sobering experience of what the atomic bomb can do. There is hardly anything left standing in the city at the epicenter of the explosion. People were completely vaporized. Many people died in the explosion, but 10,000's more died afterward because of radiation caused infections.
Japan did not drop any atomic bombs. Rather, the US dropped two atomic bombs on them. The cities that were hit were Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Genbaku Dome is now designated as the Hiroshima Peace Memorial. This building stands as it did right after the explosion.
No, dynamite was not used in the Hiroshima bomb. The atomic bomb that was dropped on Hiroshima on August 6, 1945 used nuclear fission, a process that releases a tremendous amount of energy by splitting the nuclei of atoms. This resulted in a powerful explosion that caused massive destruction.
The Chernobyl disaster released around 400 times more radiation than the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima. The explosion exposed millions of people to radiation and had widespread environmental consequences compared to the more localized impact of the atomic bomb.
The circumference of an atomic bomb explosion can vary depending on the size and yield of the bomb. In general, the blast radius of a typical atomic bomb explosion can extend several miles from the epicenter.
