Yes, a fusion bomb (hydrogen bomb) would destroy New York City.
depends on yield an height/depth of burst.
it is impossible to tell because the force would destroy anyything, including a thermometer!
A gigaton is 1000 megatons so it would be destroy an an area the size of Louisiana. But of course there is no such thing as a gigaton for bombs. IN FACT, there are already 1+ gigaton nuclear weapons. A 1 GT bomb would destroy an area the size of Texas, just with the expansive wave. A 90 GT bomb could change the planet trajectory.
Theoretically, yes. Practically, no, nobody has ever built a single bomb of high enough yield to destroy an entire country in one shot; also any such bomb would waste most of its yield in simply blowing off the top of the atmosphere into space. It just isn't practical with a single bomb.
Well if you don't know its a bomb and its actually called nuclear bomb, nuke is short for nuclear. It has the power to destroy a whole NATION. And to answer your other question it looks a missle. if don't know what a missle looks like, you can look up Missles and or nuclear bomb on Google images
no
No.

A nuclear bomb can destroy a city and the surrounding area. Think if New York City was bomb with an atom bomb. 8 million plus people would be killed instantly and milions more would die from the fallout or burns or other injuries. Injuries would be in the millions too.
That would depend on yield and height/depth of burst.

Yes, If it was carried into the ozone layer by a space ship and then detonated, then we would be in trouble. :D
In the same way that any weapon would be used as a threat- If you do this, I will do that. For many years, the US and the Soviet Union had a strategy known as MAD- Mutually Assured Destruction- If we are attacked with nuclear weapons, we will respond with Nuclear Weapons. You have enough to destroy us, but we would also destroy you.
A neclear bomb could completly destroy a building :)
yes he has a nuclear bomb which is the most powerful bomb in the world and can destroy the whole of England. apparently there is only 1 in the world now
There are currently no nuclear weapons big enough that just one could destroy the US. It is possible that enough of them could pretty much destroy our way of life for decades to come.
