Nuclear explosive devices have been built as small as cylinders 6 inches in diameter and 20 inches long or as small as spheres 11 inches in diameter to as large as cylinders 20 feet in diameter and 80 feet tall.
If you meant explosive yield then devices have been built with yields as low as 10 tons to over 50 megatons.
The physical size and yield are not necessarily proportional.
What else can I help you with?
Would the nuclear explosions in Chernobyl and Japan affect the Ozone and climate?
Very unlikely. Also neither were nuclear explosions:Chernobyl was a massive steam explosion in the cooling system, and Japan was a combination of steam explosions and maybe hydrogen/oxygen explosions. The nuclear releases in both cases were due to breaches of the containment by these explosions. If they had been nuclear explosions many miles from the plants would have been leveled and that did not happen.
How does nuclear fusion power the sun for 10 billion years?
First, the Sun is pretty big, and there is a LOT of hydrogen. Second, nuclear fusion generates a WHOLE lot of energy.
How do atoms explode?
Atoms do not explode; rather, nuclear reactions involving atoms can lead to nuclear explosions. In nuclear explosions, the nucleus of an atom undergoes a chain reaction that releases an immense amount of energy in the form of heat and light. This release of energy is what causes the explosion.
The sun produces big explosions of energy called?
They are called solar prominences.
How do volcanoes react during an eruption?
very big explosions
How is light generated from the sun?
By nuclear explosions in the earth's core that cause chemical reactions, basically the sun is one big bomb!
How big are the explosions on the sun?
Explosions on the Sun, like solar flares and coronal mass ejections, can vary in size. Solar flares can release energy equivalent to millions of nuclear bombs, while coronal mass ejections can release billions of tons of solar material into space. These explosions can have various impacts on Earth's magnetosphere and technology.
Which is bigger a nuclear or atomic explosion?
Nuclear explosions are the result of splitting the atom. It is actually what powers the sun.
Why can nuclear explosions on the sun not be heard on earth?
Sound cannot travel through the vacuum of space, so we cannot hear nuclear explosions on the sun from Earth. Sound requires a medium to travel through, like air, and space is empty. Additionally, the sun's explosions produce vibrations in the form of electromagnetic waves, which we can detect but not hear as sound.
Nuclear weapon how hot are they to the sun?
Theoretically any Thermonuclear Fusion Explosions (what happens on the surface of the sun) are the same heat.
Why cant you hear nuclear explosions from the sun?
Nuclear explosions on the sun, like nuclear fusion reactions, happen in the sun's core which is extremely dense and covered by many layers. The energy produced from these explosions must travel through these layers before reaching the sun's surface and then space, which is why we cannot hear them on Earth. Additionally, sound waves cannot travel through the vacuum of space.
When will the sun be colonized?
The Sun cannot be colonized as life would become rapidly unbearable if we got to close to it. It is a great big ball of continual nuclear explosions. Going anywhere near it would be unwise... unless you go at night.
Why can't we hear nuclear explosions from the sun?
We can't hear nuclear explosions from the sun because sound cannot travel through the vacuum of space. Sound waves require a medium, like air or water, to propagate, but space is mostly empty. Additionally, the sun's explosions release energy in the form of electromagnetic radiation, mainly light and heat, rather than sound waves.
Could nuclear explosions harm the atmosphere?
yes exended use of nuclear bombs would send tons of debris and dust in the air that will block out the sun
What kind of explosions are used in nuclear bombs?
nuclear
How is nuclear energy created or formed?
Uranium formed in supernova explosions. Hydrogen has been in the universe since milliseconds after the big bang.
What creates the northern lites?
Well... Their are big explosions on the sun, if they are big, the gases will travel to earth and get caught in the atmosphere. It willcreate light. And their we go.
