Why don't spaceships and nuclear bombs and aeroplanes etc cause damage to the ozone layer yet CFCs do?
First, all aeroplanes do leave a carbon foot print. Second, a nuclear bomb would do horrific damage to the ozone layer ( that's why nuclear testing is banned). Lastly, since no one proved that alien exist their spaceships are not real, but if they are I would imagine that they would do damage to the ozone layer.
It should be pointed out that a carbon foot print has nothing at all to do with the thinning caused by a lack of sunlight to a layer of our atmosphere. CO2 may be a greenhouse gas, but has nothing to do with the ozone layer.
Nuclear bombs could do damage to this layer, but that is not why they are banned. They do damage in many other ways.
Rockets to space dump water vapor, and some of them dump chlorine containing molecules. These all tend to decrease ozone levels
Aircraft dump water vapor, and decrease oxygen levels. These all tend to decrease ozone levels. This is a much stronger effect than for rockets, since many more tons of fuel are involved annually.
Nuclear bombs loft large quantites of contaminants to the upper atmosphere, but very few of them are not fully oxidized. Some water vapor is lofted ahead of the mushroom cloud, and this will do some damage. Thankfully these do not occur often.
CFCs are extremely stable, and the only place they can go away, is where sunlight is strong enough to break them down. Unfortunately, this is where the sunlight is strong enough to make ozone... the ozone layer. So where we have dumped CFCs to the atmosphere since the early 1900s, it will take a while for them to leave the system. And Nature is continually adding Her bit to this loading as well... plants do also make / release chloromethane, especially when burned.

How do hydrogen bombs and stars both produce nuclear energy?
Stars like our sun and hydrogen bombs produce energy through nuclear fusion.
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.
Can non-nuclear bombs explode in space?
The only nations to detonate nuclear weapons in outer space are the United States and the Soviet Union. During the heart of the Cold War, the United States and the former Soviet Union launched and detonated a combined total of over 20 thermo nuclear weapons in the upper atmosphere and near space region of earth in an effort to test the effects of launching an offense as well as countering an offense. Even during the Cuban Missile Crisis!
How many nuclear bombs would it take to blow up the moon?
It is impossible to blow up the Moon with nuclear bombs as it is too massive and its gravity would likely prevent such an event from happening. Additionally, any attempt to do so would have catastrophic consequences for Earth due to the debris and environmental impact.
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.
What can nuclear bombs do?
Several orders of magnitude more damage than conventional bombs, and that is only considering the blast and fire damage.
Is a bomb nuclear?
Some bombs are nuclear. But most bombs are not nuclear.
What did the Japanese attack us with?
If you are referring to Pearl Harbour, the answer is bombs. Bombs dropped by aeroplanes if you want to be more specific.
What fuel does Spaceships use?
liquid oxygen and liquid nitrogen they eplode and cause a mini explosion that boosts the ship upward but project orion was designed so it shot nuclear bombs from under it
How much nuclear bombs can damage?
A very complex question, depending on its yield and dozens of other variables.
Are nuclear bombs illegal in China?
No, China has several hundred nuclear bombs and has had bombs since 1964.
Why thermo nuclear bombs are called dirty bombs?
Beacause millions of lives were taken by the nuclear bombs
How many nuclear bombs per week US builds nuclear bombs?
At this time the US builds no nuclear bombs. A small number of existing bombs are refurbished as needed.
Is there nuclear energy in nuclear bombs?
Yes, there is nuclear energy in nuclear bombs. It is released in a few microseconds when they are detonated.
What is the different between a nuclear bomb and an atom bomb?
Nuclear bombs before the 60s were referred to as atom bombs, because the term Nuclear hadn't been discover yet. Nuclear bombs today, are generally Hydrogen bombs, or fusion bombs. They are significantly more powerful, able to places about the size of Rhode Island. Atom bombs,which were mostly uranium and plutonium, lack the destructive power of Nuclear or Fusion bombs.
Weapons used for the first time in ww1?
Bombs from aeroplanes. Tanks. Poison Gas.
Why are biological weapons reffered to as 'poor man's' nuclear bombs?
Because they are very inexpensive to develop and can produce comparable damage.
