The largest conventional bomb is a thermobaric explosive. The largest of these is the Russian ATBIP (Aviation Thermobaric Bomb of Increased Power) or the Father of all Bombs. Its blast yield is estimated at equal to 44 tons of TNT.

How did the first atomic bomb compare with conventional bombs?

Typical conventional bombs have explosive yields approximately equal to their physical weight, the largest yield conventional bomb of WW2 was the British Tallboy which weighed 6 tons and had a yield of nearly 3 tons. The first atomic bomb dropped in WW2 the Little Boy weighed just under 5 tons and had a yield of about 15000 tons equivalent. Comparing them, the first atomic bomb had a weight slightly less than the largest conventional bomb used in WW2 but the yield was about 5000 times larger!
