Which is more damaging Atom bomb or megaton bomb?

A megaton bomb is more damaging than an atomic bomb because it has a much higher explosive yield. A megaton bomb releases energy equivalent to the detonation of one million tons of TNT, while an atomic bomb typically releases energy equivalent to the detonation of thousands of tons of TNT.

There was no atomic bomb called Big Boy. Perhaps you are confusing it with a restaurant chain that bombed :-)The two atomic bombs used in combat were Little Boy & Fat Man, their approximate weights were 9,000 pounds & 10,000 pounds respectively.

What was the main purpose of the hydrogen bomb?

The main purpose of the hydrogen bomb was to create a much more powerful and destructive nuclear weapon than the atomic bomb. It was designed to release energy from nuclear fusion reactions, which is many times greater than that of nuclear fission reactions used in atomic bombs.


What comes after the atomic bomb in terms of intensity?

After the atomic bomb, the intensity of destruction increases with hydrogen bombs, which are significantly more powerful and devastating due to the fusion reaction they utilize. Hydrogen bombs are capable of producing much larger explosions compared to atomic bombs due to their ability to release vast amounts of energy.
