A nuclear explosion produces a significant release of energy, resulting in shockwaves and radiation that primarily affect the local environment. However, it does not create any substantial distortion of spacetime in the way that massive astronomical events, like black holes or neutron stars, do. While the explosion's energy can theoretically produce minor ripples in spacetime, these effects would be negligible and undetectable compared to cosmic phenomena. Thus, a nuclear explosion does not meaningfully affect the spacetime continuum.
What else can I help you with?
Can you see a nuclear explosion from space?
Yes, technically, every star is a nuclear explosion, including our sun. Apart from that, you would be able to see a nuclear explosion if one were to occur out side the planet if it was close enough. Out in the country, in the night sky, you can see satelittes that are the size of homes only reflecting the light of the sun flying around. A nuclear explosion could make a flash that is anywhere from the size of a few cities blocks to a mile across or more emitting vast amounts of light from them.
What would happen if NASA detonated a nuclear bomb on the moon?
Detonating a nuclear bomb on the moon would have long-lasting consequences such as creating a large crater, sending debris into space, and potentially disturbing the moon's surface composition. The resulting explosion could affect the moon's gravitational pull and impact future lunar exploration projects.
Can you blow up a nuke in space?
It's possible, though it's (probably... see below) prohibited by both the Outer Space Treaty and the Partial Test Ban Treaty of 1963. All countries known to possess nuclear weapons capability, with the exception of North Korea, have ratified at least one of these (North Korea has signed, but not ratified, the Outer Space Treaty).Whether or not a non-weapon nuclear explosion (for example: using a nuclear device as a sort of improved dynamite for, say, mining purposes) would violate the Outer Space Treaty is an interesting legal question, since the treaty expressly refers to nuclear weapons and goes on to say that the use of any equipment or facility necessary for peaceful exploration shall not be prohibited. This could potentially eventually become important.
What is it called when you sign a treaty banning the explosion of nuclear devices above ground or in the oceans?
That is called the Partial Test Ban Treaty. It was signed in 1963 and banned the testing of nuclear weapons in the atmosphere, outer space, and underwater.
Did Sally Ride die in a explosion on the way back from outer space?
no sally ride did not die in the challenger explosion. but she did investigate on the explosion.
What does a nuclear explosion look like when viewed from space?
A nuclear explosion viewed from space appears as a bright flash of light followed by a rapidly expanding fireball. The explosion creates a mushroom-shaped cloud that rises into the atmosphere.
In which year did the explosion at Chernobyl nuclear reactor occur?
1986, the same year as the Challenger Space Shuttle explosion.

How did the tragedy of the Challenger space shuttle explosion affect the shuttle fleet?
it was grounded
What effects does nuclear explosion have?
Thermal flashPrompt radiationBlast and windFallout radiationEMP (if burst in ionosphere)Artificial radiation belts and Auroras (if burst in space)
If a nuclear explosion from space impacted on a planet could it knock it off of orbit?
Possibly, but it would have to be a large one. Radioactive fallout would be a greater concern..
Who is chrysaor?
explosion in space
What objective is the brighter?
Brightness is related to luminousity and distance. On Earth, the brightest thing would be a nuclear explosion. In space, the brightest thing would be a supernova, but it all depends on the distance from it.
Is there nuclear waste in space?
Yes, there is nuclear waste in space.

What is the difference between a bomb and an nuclear bomb?
Basically, a conventional bomb uses a chemical explosive as the source of its destructive power. A nuclear weapon uses nuclear material to create an explosion. A nuclear explosion is much larger, and also emits ionizing radiation. A chemical weapon does not emit any radiation. A nuclear weapon's yield is measured in Kilotons (thousand tons). In very simplified terms, this means that a nuclear weapon with a 475 kiloton yield produces an explosion comparable to 475,000 tons of TNT (TNT is a chemical explosive). That's A LOT of TNT and it would take up a bit of space. A nuclear weapon with this yield may only be a few feet long and a foot wide, and the actual nuclear material may be the size of a grapefruit.
