Where was the largest nuclear explosion?
On the island Novaya Zemlya in the USSR above the Arctic Circle in 1961. It was called Tsar Bomba (King of bombs) and had a yield of 52 MTons to 58 MTons, depending on how it was measured. The design (AN602) had a potential yield of 100 MTons, if they had wanted to go all the way.
When a star's core collapses a giant explosion happens called a?
When a star's core collapses, a giant explosion called a supernova occurs. This cataclysmic event marks the end of the star's life cycle and can outshine entire galaxies for a brief period. The explosion is often triggered by the gravitational collapse of the core after nuclear fusion ceases, leading to a dramatic release of energy and ejected material into space. Supernovae play a crucial role in distributing heavy elements throughout the universe.
What is an explosion seen when a white dwarf captures H from a companion star?
When a white dwarf star accretes hydrogen from a companion star, it can trigger a runaway nuclear fusion reaction that causes a sudden and bright increase in brightness called a nova. This explosion is not as powerful as a supernova, and the white dwarf usually survives to potentially experience multiple nova events.
What was the biggest nuclear explosion?
The biggest nuclear explosion in history was a 50 megaton (equivalent to 50 million tons of tnt) bomb tested by the soviet union called the "Tsar Bomb". nobody was killed in the blast. the previous answer was completely false, Chernobyl was one of the smallest nuclear explosions in history, smaller than the Hiroshima bomb, which was only 17 kilotons (17 thousand tons of tnt, almost 3000 times smaller than the Tsar Bomb). People were mainly killed by the radiation. The blast didn't even kill everybody inside the actual plant (I'm not sure how many were killed in the blast, if somebody would like to add to this)
A massive stars terminate in a brilliant explosion called a?
it is Supernova
What do you call the explosion called from an atomic bomb?
a nuclear explosion
What is A nuclear explosion which releases energy equivalent to seven million tons of TNT called?
A nuclear explosion releasing energy equivalent to seven million tons of TNT is called a megaton explosion.
What are radioactive particles blown after a nuclear explosion called?
Fallout.
What is a nuclear explosion which releases energy equivalent to 7000000 tons of TNT called?
A nuclear explosion that releases energy equivalent to 7,000,000 tons of TNT is known as a "megaton" explosion. This term refers to the explosive power of the nuclear blast in relation to the traditional unit of measure for explosive force, which is tons of TNT.
How does a nuke create such a big explosion?
A nuclear bomb creates a big explosion through a process called nuclear fission, where the nuclei of atoms are split apart, releasing a huge amount of energy in the form of heat, light, and shock waves. This release of energy happens very quickly, causing a powerful and destructive explosion.
What was the biggest nuclear explosion ever called?
Tsar Bombe - variously estimated from 52 Mton to 58 Mton.
Bomb created by splitting atoms?
A nuclear bomb is created by splitting atoms through a process called nuclear fission. This releases a massive amount of energy in the form of a nuclear explosion.
What is the name of radioactive dust after nuclear explosion?
The radioactive dust that forms after a nuclear explosion is called "fallout." It consists of particles that have been contaminated by radioactive material and can be carried by wind over long distances, posing a health risk to humans and the environment.
Why you have never seen a nuclear reaction resulting in an atomic bomb-like explosion in nature?
You see it every day, it's called the sun:)
What are nuclear atom bombs?
Atomic bombs, as they were called in the 40s, are nuclear weapons which use the properties of radioactive material to create an extremely powerful explosion. The explosion involves a huge release of energy and very damaging radiation. Look up "atom bombs" and you are likely to find a range of explanations.
What happens to an atom if it is broken apart?
If an atom is broken apart, it releases energy and forms smaller particles such as protons, neutrons, and electrons. This process is known as nuclear fission and is the basis for nuclear power plants and nuclear weapons.
What was the law called for banning alcohol?
Prohibition
