Could a nuclear war change the length of day on Earth or could it slightly alter the orbit Earth to make the year longer if it was powerful enough?
Theoretically, a large enough detonation could alter the axis and spin of the Earth. How large that actually is would be anyone's guess.
What we know is that slightly more than 50 megatons is not enough: the Soviets detonated Kuz'kina Mat' on 30 October 1961. The bomb had a dialed down yield of 50-60 mT, from at least a potential 100 mT. Kuz'kina Mat was detonated air burst, four kilometers above the surface, and had an energy yield of 8.1 on the Richter scale. Most of the blast energy was converted into seismic waves; these could be detected after three psses around the Earth. Had Kuz'kina Mat' been a surface or susurface burst, all of that energy would have been transmitted directly to the planet. Had the weapon been full yield, the blast energy would have have exceeded twice that of the 2004 Sumatra-Andaman event that shifted the Earth's axis by a degree or two.
What else can I help you with?
What are the disadvantages of nuclear fusion for electricity?
It has not been developed enough to make this clear
Why is planet Saturn a planet and not a star?
Saturn was not massive enough to initiate nuclear fusion.
How does the nuclear envelope allow for cell reproduction?
At the time of nuclear division the nuclear envelope get disintegrated to provide enough space to the chromosomes to move at two poles of the spindle. When the division is complete the nuclear envelope organizes again around these daughter nuclei.
Did Chile earthquake shift Earth's tilt?
Yes, the 2010 Chile earthquake was powerful enough to cause a slight shift in the Earth's axis, estimated to be around 3 inches (8 cm). This shift affected the Earth's rotation speed and slightly changed its shape.
Why is it necessary for a collision between atomic particles to occur so a nuclear reaction may begin?
A collision between atomic particles is necessary to overcome the repulsion between their positively charged nuclei. When particles collide with enough energy, they can come close enough for the strong nuclear force to overcome the electrostatic repulsion, triggering a nuclear reaction. Without a collision, the forces involved are not strong enough to induce a reaction.
What would happen if Iran launced a nuclear missile at the u.s?
Wouldnt reach, dont have powerful enough rockets/good enough sea transport
What is a powerful machine that moves nuclear particles fast enough to make larger nuclei when the particles collide?
Particle accelerator
Can a nuclear blast alter the earth's rotation?
Not anything of any size that we're capable of building now or in the foreseeable future. But give us time.And it's "nuclear", not "nucular".
Can Goku become super saiyan 20?
Type your answer here... no because goku cant be that powerful enough to change like that and his last and final form is super saiyen 4 so he cant change any kind of form powerful enough.
What is a powerful machine that moved nuclear particles fast enough to make larger nuclei when the particles collide?
A particle accelerator is a powerful machine capable of moving nuclear particles close to the speed of light and then colliding them to generate larger nuclei. This process can create new elements and isotopes through nuclear fusion reactions.
A powerful machine that moves nuclear particles fast enough to make larger nuclei when the particles collide is called?
particle accelerator
What has been a major agent of government change though not even mentioned in the constitution?
The press is mentioned in the First Amendment of the Constitution but is not a formal division of our government and yet is often considered powerful enough to be one. The press's abilities to dig into a scandal or ignore a scandal or invent a scandal and to influence public opinion make it very powerful, powerful enough to be a "major agent of government change."
What are the World's most powerful countries on earth?
Germany has the powerful armies as well, India has one of strongest soldiers also as well, Russia has an extremely powerful air force, Great Britain has the most powerful navy in the World, Japan has the greatest army people with powerful weapons, France also has an extremely powerful nuclear weapons as well, The United States of America has an incredibly powerful military with nuclear weapons, China has super powerful military soldiers as also known to be strong enough, Canada has an extremely powerful air force and nuclear weapons, Australia has one the greatest army to defeat other country, Italy has the greatest navy and lot stronger than any other country.

Do you think use of nuclear weapons should be banned or not essay?
I think the use of nuclear weapons should be banned. They are to powerful and to many of them are out there. There are enough known nukes total to kill more than 5 times the actual amount of people in the world.
Adding enough energy can cause matter to?
transform into energy through a process such as nuclear fusion or matter-antimatter annihilation.
Could a nuclear weapon blow up a continent?
No, a single nuclear weapon is not powerful enough to blow up an entire continent. The destructive power of a nuclear weapon is concentrated in a relatively small area known as the blast radius. The impact would be devastating locally, but the effect would not extend to an entire continent.
