How many kilatons in 1 megaton?

There are 1,000 kilotons in 1 megaton. The metric "kiloton" refers to a weight equivalent to 1,000 tons, while "megaton" refers to 1,000,000 tons. Therefore, 1 megaton is simply 1,000 times larger than 1 kiloton.


How strong are the nuclear bombs made today compared with the atomic bombs you dropped on japan?

In very round figures modern fusion bombs have yields in the range from 200 kilotons to 400 kilotons with a small number over 1 megaton. The two fission bombs dropped on Japan were 15 kilotons & 22 kilotons respectively.


What is the difference between 1 megaton and 1 kiloton?

Let's remove the term "ton" from the words. Then we're left with Mega and Kilo. Mega is a shortened term for 1,000,000 and Kilo is a shortened term for 1,000. Therefore 1 Mega ÷ 1 Kilo = 1,000 Kilotons in 1 megaton.
