Which is hotter the explosion of a thermonuclear bomb or the core of the sun and explain why?
The temperatures are similar within about an order of magnitude, but the core of the sun is hotter.
The thermonuclear bomb is at the temperature of DT fusion, the lowest temperature at which fusion can occur. The sun, in addition to fusing DT, is fusing HH, HD, DD, DHe-3, TT, He-3He-3, all of which ignite at various temperatures higher than DT.

What is more stronger a comet explosion or a nuke explosion?
a comet explosion is more stronger and bigger than a nuke explosion and atomic bomb but not a hydrogen if you want something to be mor bigger than a hydrogen explosion call in a asteroid that's bigger than a hydrogen explosion and some meteors. ps I am the maker of the awnsers web site
Where did the atomic bomb hit Nagasaki?
The atomic bomb hit Nagasaki at the Urakami district, near the city's center. The explosion devastated the area and caused widespread destruction.
How is energy produced in the suns core?
By thermonuclear fusion of hydrogen, producing helium. The same process that produces the energy in a hydrogen bomb (although the sun fuses far more hydrogen in the same period of time than the largest hydrogen bomb ever speculated would fuse during its entire explosion, thus producing more energy than such a bomb).
Does an atomic bomb effect the atmosphere?
Yes, an atomic bomb explosion can have significant effects on the atmosphere. It can release a large amount of energy and heat, which can create powerful shockwaves that disrupt the surrounding air and cause massive fires. The explosion can also release harmful radiation into the atmosphere, posing serious health risks to living organisms.
How big is the crater that is caused from a nuclear explosion?
The size of the crater created from a nuclear explosion can vary depending on the size of the bomb and the type of terrain it impacts. In general, a nuclear explosion can create a crater several hundred meters wide and tens of meters deep, with larger bombs resulting in larger craters.
Are new clear bombs hotter than the sun?
Is a neutron bomb hotter than the sun ______________________________________ No, not generally. A thermonuclear explosion (a hydrogen fusion bomb, unlike the earlier uranium fission bombs) will approach the temperature of the Sun, but will not equal it, and it will only last for a fraction of a second.
Why are the high temperatures produced by the explosion of a fission bomb necessary to initiate fusion in a thermonuclear device?
On the order of 10 million K.
Is a hydrogen bomb thermonuclear?
Yes.
Why are the high temptress produced by the explosion of a fission bomb necessary fusion in a thermonuclear device?
The high temperatures produced by the explosion of a fission bomb are necessary for initiating the fusion reaction in a thermonuclear device because fusion reactions require extremely high temperatures and pressures to overcome the repulsive forces between positively charged nuclei. The fission explosion provides the energy needed to achieve these conditions, thereby allowing the fusion reaction to take place.
What is the difference between an atomic bomb and a thermonuclear bomb?
They are both general terms. The term "atomic bomb" can mean any nuclear weapon, either a fission weapon or a fusion weapon (the so-called hydrogen bomb). The term thermonuclear bomb is also used in general, but it usually excludes the fusion bombs. It should be noted, however, that it takes a fission bomb to generate the heat necessary to "set off" a fusion reaction and make a fusion bomb work.
What is a explosion?
A thermonuclear explosion occurs when an element, usually hydrogen or helium, is heated to the point that the nuclei of atoms become unstable. The result is fusion, when atoms combine to form the atoms of heavier elements, giving off enormous amounts of energy, which sustains the heat that resulted in fusion. In a "hydrogen" bomb, the initial energy to achieve the required temperature is provided by a small atomic (fission) bomb. The thermonuclear energy is dissipated in an enormous explosion. This process occurs naturally in the sun and stars.
Why is potassium not used instead of hydrogen in bombs?
Potassium is a salt, a crystalline substance and is not radioactive sufficiently enough to achieve the level of critical mass necessary to energize such an explosive reaction. A hydrogen bomb is a two-stage nuclear device that actually uses a lower-level nuclear reaction to energize a higher-level thermonuclear explosion. That higher-level thermonuclear explosion is what you call a hydrogen bomb. Tom Clancy gave a brilliant explosion of such a device in his book "The Sum of All Fears".
What is the most powerful type of nuclear bomb?
The most powerful type of nuclear bomb is the hydrogen bomb, also known as a thermonuclear bomb. These bombs use a two-stage process, with an initial fission reaction triggering a fusion reaction, resulting in a much larger explosion compared to atomic bombs.
Does a hydrogen bomb contain uranium?
Yes, a Thermonuclear Weapon (or Hydrogen Bomb) contains a core of Plutonium-239 and Uranium-235. A hydrogen bomb (thermonuclear fusion device) is triggered by a conventional thermonuclear fission bomb, and therefore has a core of fissionable materials such as U-235 and Pu-239. The fission device acting as a trigger is in turn triggered by conventional chemical explosives.
How big was the explosion of the atomic bomb?
The explosion of the atomic bomb released an immense amount of energy, equivalent to thousands of tons of TNT. The blast created a fireball that expanded rapidly, reaching temperatures hotter than the sun's surface. The destruction caused by the explosion extended for miles around the epicenter.
Did the explosion of the Hindenburg lead to the creation of the hydrogen bomb?
no!!!!!the Hindenburg did not explode. its aluminum painted skin caught fire from an electrostatic discharge. that fire ignited ordinary chemical hydrogen/oxygen fires as the lift gas bladders breached.no nuclear fusion was involved. not even a chemical explosion occurred.
What type of reaction occurs when a thermonuclear bomb explodes?
A fusion reaction.
