It depends on the size of the bomb
Thermonuclear or hydrogen bombs are significantly more powerful than atomic bombs. These bombs use a two-stage process that combines nuclear fission and fusion reactions, resulting in a much larger explosive yield.
The main difference between atomic bombs and hydrogen bombs is the source of their energy. Atomic bombs rely on nuclear fission (splitting atoms), while hydrogen bombs use a two-stage process involving both fission and fusion (combining atoms). Hydrogen bombs are more powerful and destructive than atomic bombs.
The terms "atomic bomb" and "nuclear bomb" are general terms and can pretty much be used interchangeably. That said, there isn't any difference between them, and one is not more powerful than the other in that light.
Atomic bombs use nuclear fission, where heavy atomic nuclei split into smaller ones releasing energy and radiation. Hydrogen bombs use both nuclear fission and fusion, with fusion reactions involving the combining of light atomic nuclei to release even more energy and radiation. Hydrogen bombs are typically more powerful and produce higher levels of radiation compared to atomic bombs.
Little Boy, about 9000 pounds. Fat Man about 10000 pounds.

More & higher yield atomic bombs, I guess.
Atomic bombs were dropped in WWII
Yes, uranium can be used in atomic bombs.
It was about 12 kilotons.
If you are talking about the atomic bombs, they were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. If you mean normal bombs... pretty much everywhere...
Total war means atomic bombs.
During WWII the atomic bombs were dropped in Hiroshima and Nagasaki
No. The US gave them cryptic messages about the bombs and never told them they had atomic bombs.
Bombs have changed so much over 60 years. Atomic bombs are much more powerful than there WW2 counterparts. Smart bombs and tracking bombs are also a new powerful addition.
This question could be easily misconstrued. While atomic and nuclear explosion mean the same thing, and all atomic bombs are nuclear bombs, not all nuclear bombs are atomic bombs. The more powerful nuclear bombs are hydrogen bombs, and there is a very important fundamental difference between the two. ============================================================== A bomb is fission - the splitting of an atom H bomb is fusion - the joining together of atoms (and much more powerfull)
