What bombs were made because of atomic bombs?
More & higher yield atomic bombs, I guess.
How many atomic bombs would equal a super nova?
As both atomic bombs and supernovas vary in yield, this question has no single answer.
How did the first atomic bomb compare with conventional bombs?
Typical conventional bombs have explosive yields approximately equal to their physical weight, the largest yield conventional bomb of WW2 was the British Tallboy which weighed 6 tons and had a yield of nearly 3 tons. The first atomic bomb dropped in WW2 the Little Boy weighed just under 5 tons and had a yield of about 15000 tons equivalent. Comparing them, the first atomic bomb had a weight slightly less than the largest conventional bomb used in WW2 but the yield was about 5000 times larger!
How powerful is the atomic bomb?
Atomic bombs come in a wide variety of sizes. Their explosive power is usually measured in terms of an equivalent number of tons of dynamite. Smaller bombs range in the kilotons (thousands of tons) while larger bombs are in the range of megatons (millions of tons). Even a small atomic bomb is extremely powerful, much more powerful than any conventional bomb. A large atomic bomb can destroy an entire city.
How many atomic bombs did the US drop and the end of World War 2?
As of August 9, 1945 the US had built a total of 3 atomic bombs and exploded all of them.As of August 14, 1945 the US had built another bomb which arrived in San Francisco on August 18, 1945; but as Japan was surrendering this bomb was returned to Los Alamos unused.The US had production plans and capability to build another 20 atomic bombs before the end of 1945.As of the end of Operation Crossroads in the summer of 1946 the US had built a total of 9 atomic bombs and exploded 5 of them.At the peak of the cold war the US had built several 10s of thousands of atomic bombs, exploded over a 1000 of them in test shots, and stockpiled more than 10000 of them. (Note: this counts only the high yield "strategic" weapons, at the same time the US had stockpiled roughly 30000 low yield "tactical" weapons. these were eliminated in the 1980s.)

Was the H-bomb worse than the nuclear bombs dropped in World War 2?
The early ones were. However there are now small H-bombs with yields as low or lower than the original atomic bombs. They are cheaper to build per kiloton yield.

What city was the first atomic bomb used on?
The first atomic bomb (The Gadget) was not used on any city. It was detonated on the top of a 100 foot tall steel tower, at the Trinity Site in the Jornada del Muerto desert about 35 miles southeast of Socorro, New Mexico, on what was then the USAAF Alamogordo Bombing and Gunnery Range (now part of White Sands Missile Range) on July 16, 1945.The second atomic bomb (Little Boy) was the first to be used on a city. It was dropped by a B-29 above Hiroshima Japan on August 6, 1945.The third atomic bomb (Fatman, a deliverable version of The Gadget) was the second to be used on a city (and the first plutonium atomic bomb used on a city). It was dropped by a B-29 above Nagasaki Japan on August 9, 1945.The fourth atomic bomb (unnamed, identical to Fatman) had been manufactured by Los Alamos shortly after Fatman was used on Nagasaki and shipped to San Francisco, where a B-29 was waiting to fly it to Tinnian for use in a third attack on Japan sometime in late August. However as the Japanese indicated that they would surrender before this bomb arrived in San Francisco, president Truman issued an order that it be returned to Los Alamos instead of being loaded on the B-29 for Tinnian.All together the US had plans, facilities, and aircraft to manufacture and deliver a total of 23 atomic bombs on Japanese cities before the end of 1945:August - 3 atomic bombs (2 actually used); one MK-I uranium gun bomb (yield ~15 kilotons), two MK-III plutonium implosion bombs (yield ~22 kilotons)September - 3 atomic bombs; three MK-III plutonium implosion bombs (yield ~22 kilotons)October - 3 atomic bombs; three MK-III plutonium implosion bombs (yield ~22 kilotons)November - 7 atomic bombs; seven plutonium/uranium composite implosion bombs (estimated yield 30 to 40 kilotons)December - 7 atomic bombs; seven plutonium/uranium composite implosion bombs (estimated yield 30 to 40 kilotons)

How many atomic bombs is the equivalent of 7.8 on the Richter scale?
that depends on the yield of the bombs and how well they are coupled to the ground. one bomb of sufficient yield exploded deep underground inside bedrock will do it.
what eruption was equal to 21000 atomic bombs?
can't say without knowing yield of bomb

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.
How strong is twenty atomic bombs?
depends on the yield of each bomb, which has varied from 10 tons to over 50 megatons. there is no such thing as a nominal atomic bomb.
How big was the atomic bomb little boy?
The atoms in the atomic bombs used on Japan were atomic size. The size of the atom depends on what element or ion we're talking about. As for the bombs themselves, the Little Boy had a yield of about 12 to 14 kilotons, and Fat Man had a yield of about 20 kilotons.
