There is a temperature-pressure equilibrium that needs to be maintained. As more reactions take place the heat forces the interior of the sun to expand against the force of gravity, which is what keeps the explosion from moving outward. However, as the interior expands, the temperature cools until it is no longer hot enough for subsequent reactions to occur, leading to a collapse (because the gravity has not changed). As it begins to collapse, pressure and temperature increase, leading to increased reactions. This repeats as an equilibrium.
A hydrogen bomb does not have a secondary constraint on the explosion like uniform pressure from gravity, which allows it to consume all of its resources on an initial expansion.

How much of the US would blow up from 1 kilogram of uranium?
It is not possible for 1 kilogram of uranium to "blow up" on its own like a bomb. However, if properly enriched and designed, 1 kilogram of uranium could potentially create a nuclear explosion, which would have devastating consequences within a significant radius.
Does the sun have mountains?
No, the Sun does not have mountains. The Sun is a giant ball of hot gas made mostly of hydrogen and helium. It doesn't have a solid surface like planets or moons, so there are no features like mountains on the Sun.
Is the nuclear reaction in the sun the same as in nuclear bombs?
In the so-called "hydrogen bomb" or fusion bomb, yes, there is energy released from the same reaction (hydrogen fusing to helium) as in the Sun.However, many if not most atomic bombs are fission bombs that do not involve fusion. In a fission bomb, the nuclei of uranium atoms are split, converting some of their mass to energy.All current fusion bombs include fission reactions to trigger the greater energy release from fusion. But most of the energy in very large fission-fusion bombs comes from a third-stage reaction: the fusion causes an exceptionally powerful fission reaction in a uranium shell around the bomb. This called a Teller-Ulam device or fission-fusion-fission bomb.
Is the space tangible?
haw can it be tangled a space doesnt have hair like humans!!
What make stars light in the night?
Most of the celestial objects we call stars are stellar bodies much like our sun. Our sun is a large mass of hydrogen. There is so much hydrogen gathered together in one place that it all holds together by its own gravity. So much, that its own gravity is crushing the atoms together. Not just together in a way like we normally see here on Earth when we view solids, but together so tightly that the nuclei touch. And tighter still, until the nuclei fuse together. This is called nuclear fusion. On Earth we only experience this event when a thermonuclear bomb is detonated. A thermonuclear bomb (H-Bomb) makes an atom bomb look weak. There is so much hydrogen in our sun that this explosion was been going on for millions of years and will continue for millions more before it burns out. And there are stars out there that make our sun look like a midget. Some of the things we call stars are the remains of some of these giants who ended their lives in an explosion beyond all comprehension called a super nova. Some of the stars aren't really stars at all but an enormous collection of stars called galaxies. All different and yet all the same because all that light comes from the same process ...... nuclear fusion.
Is the nuclear bomb more powerful than the hydrogen bomb?
Nuclear bomb can mean either fission or fusion bomb. Hydrogen bomb means fusion bomb. The fusion bomb can be built with any yield one wants, just by adding more stages with more fuel. The fission bomb has a theoretical maximum yield that cannot be exceeded.
Does transmutation help in making a hydrogen bomb?
Transmutation occurs when a fusion bomb (H-bomb) detonates: The Primary (A-bomb/fission) converts a heavy element like plutonium or uranium into lighter elements, such as strontium, etc... The Secondary (H-bomb/fusion part) converts a light element into heavier elements, like Hydrogen into Helium.
Who invented the nitrogen bomb?
no such thing. maybe you meant hydrogen bomb.
Briefly explain how a hydrogen bomb works and how its differs from an atom bomb?
A Hydrogen bomb uses heavy Hydrogen or Deuterium to create a fusion chain reaction. Before that can happen however there needs to be a smaller fission explosion (atomic bomb). The radiation from this trigger explosion is directed into a hollow chamber like a bucket pointed at the atomic bomb, which contains Deuterium. Often there is a rod of Plutonium running the length of the bucket at the centre. This is designed to amplify the chain reaction and spark fusion releasing much greater quantity of energy.OK, you asked for briefly.atomic bomb at one end of hydrogen bomb casing detonates.x-rays from atomic bomb implode hydrogen bomb, heating & raising pressure in it.when at high enough temperature & pressure, hydrogen bomb explodes.An atomic bomb is just the atomic bomb mentioned at the beginning of step 1.A full description of all the events in a typical fission-fusion-fission hydrogen bomb consists of almost 2 dozen steps. A full description of the events in a typical fission atomic bomb is less than 6 steps.
How do you blow up things on the game scribble The game with the blots?
Draw a line from the fie to the bomb like a fuse!
What does blow it away mean?
To blow something away has several meanings depending on the context. It can mean a literal explosion, like blow the enemy away in a war with a bomb. It can also be figurative like blowing away an exam by making an excellent score on it.
Can a atomic bomb blow up california?
An atomic bomb has the potential to cause significant destruction to a specific area, but it would not be able to literally blow up an entire state like California due to its size. The impact of an atomic bomb would be contained to a specific radius around the point of detonation.
What kind of sound does an imploding bomb makes?
The old joke- since an imploding bomb would blow IN, not out- is that it must sound like MOOB (BOOM spelled backwards). However, it is only a joke, as there is no real imploding bomb.
What does a hydrogen bomb use for its explosive power?
A hydrogen bomb uses nuclear fusion, the process of fusing hydrogen atoms together, to release a massive amount of energy. This energy release is what generates the explosive power of a hydrogen bomb.
Is the sun like an oven?
No, it is a super giant hydrogen bomb explosion that is so massive that its gravity prevents it from exploding and creating a blast wave (like our tiny hydrogen bombs here on earth do).
Who developed hydrogen bomb?
The first staged hydrogen bomb was developed by a team at Los Alamos, NM in 1952. It was not a practical bomb as it used cryogenic liquid deuterium-tritium and required a refrigeration system larger than itself to keep it cold.The first practical "hydrogen" bomb was developed by a team at Arzamas-16 in the USSR in 1953. It used dry lithium deuteride, however did not use staging like the 1952 US bomb did so its yield was limited. It was likely done mostly for propaganda purposes. In modern terminology it would be considered a dry boosted fission bomb, not a fusion (hydrogen) bomb.The first practical staged hydrogen bomb was developed by a team at Los Alamos, NM in 1954. It used dry lithium deuteride.The second practical staged hydrogen bomb was developed by a team at Arzamas-16 in the USSR in 1955. It used dry lithium deuteride.In the US the key central concepts of the hydrogen bomb were developed by Stanislaw Ulam and Edward Teller, in the USSR the same concepts were developed by Andre Sakharov.
How was the atomic bomb transported to the bomber?
On a bomb carrier, like any other bomb.When the first hydrogen bomb (MK-17) was introduced the Air Force had no available bomb carrier large enough, so they improvised and used modified logging truck trailers as bomb carriers.
