All Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles do. They go above the atmosphere and then drop thier warheads.

How do build a nuclear missile?

Build a missile for launching satellites into orbit. Build a nuclear bomb. Replace the satellite payload of your missile with that nuclear bomb. Adjust the missile guidance system to drop the bomb on a selected target instead of injecting it into orbit. Simple?


Does a nuclear bomb give radiation?

Yes a nuclear bomb gives radiation. Radiation is transfer of energy through empty space.


Can a nuclear bomb explode in space and produce a mushroom cloud?

No


Are nuclear rockets the same as nuculear bombs?

the warhead on the rocket is similar to a bomb, delivery method is different.


Is the atomic bomb the same thing as the nuclear missile?

No, they are not the same thing. An atomic bomb is a type of nuclear weapon that releases a large amount of energy through nuclear fission or fusion reactions. A nuclear missile, on the other hand, is a missile system that is capable of delivering a nuclear warhead to a target.


What is the difference between an Atomic Bomb and a Nuclear Missile?

An atomic bomb is an explosive device that obtains its energy from the atomic nucleus. it is equally valid to call it a nuclear bomb, and it can obtain this energy through either of the processes of fission and/or fusion. There are many ways an atomic bomb can be delivered to its target: aircraft, unguided rocket, guided missile, cruise missile, torpedo, depth charge, hand carried, landmine (the target comes to it), artillery shell, jeep/tripod mounted bazooka, etc. Atomic bombs were also proposed and tested for several peaceful uses: blasting for construction (e.g. highways, railroads, canals), oil industry (e.g. natural gas extraction, oil extraction from tar sands), spacecraft propulsion (Project Orion 1958 to 1963), etc. A nuclear missile usually means a guided missile with an atomic bomb (aka warhead) as its payload, the guided missile is the means of delivering that atomic bomb to its target. However it is also possible in some circumstances to interpret nuclear missile as equivalent to nuclear rocket. A nuclear rocket uses a nuclear reactor to heat a gas (e.g. hydrogen) to propel the rocket, as usually visualized the payload of a nuclear rocket is a deep space probe of some kind (but it could just as easily be a manned spacecraft or an atomic bomb).


Why does a rocket needs a Nuclear bomb?

Do you mean: Why does a nuclear bomb need a rocket? A nuclear bomb does not need a rocket specifically. Rockets happen to be a perfect form of transport for a nuclear warhead. This is because; they can travel very long distances at great speed and they do not require a pilot as they can be controlled remotely. Some warheads don't use rockets for example the bomb dropped on Hiroshima at the end of the second world war. It was dropped from a high altitude B29 bomber called the Enola Gay. Rockets do not need nuclear bombs either, short and intermediate range ballistic missiles (e.g. SCUD, V-2) do quite well with conventional explosive or incendiary warheads.


How are nuclear weapons tested in space?

The only nations to detonate nuclear weapons in outer space are the United States and the Soviet Union. During the heart of the Cold War, the United States and the former Soviet Union launched and detonated a combined total of over 20 thermo nuclear weapons in the upper atmosphere and near space region of earth in an effort to test the effects of launching an offense as well as countering an offense. Even during the Cuban Missile Crisis! Both governments do not give directions detailing how to detonate a nuclear bomb in space.


Can the physicist create war weapons like nuclear bombs or rocket launcher and missiles?

yes. physics study mainly how things move.. hence without physics there wouldn't be good missles , no rocket launchers , and noting to guide a nuclear bomb


What is the difference between nuclear bomb and plutonium bomb?

A nuclear bomb is any bomb with any nuclear or atomic material inside it, while a plutonium bomb is a specific type of nuclear bomb. Plutonium could be the nuclear material inside the bomb, and if it is, it's a plutonium bomb.


What is the best nuclear bomb?
