The weight of a nuclear missile can vary depending on the specific model and design, but they can typically weigh several tons, ranging from 1 to 100 tons. The weight is influenced by various factors including the size of the warhead, fuel, and guidance systems.
No, they are not the same thing. An atomic bomb is a type of nuclear weapon that releases a large amount of energy through nuclear fission or fusion reactions. A nuclear missile, on the other hand, is a missile system that is capable of delivering a nuclear warhead to a target.
Maybe. If ABM was nuclear itself, it will probably cause fratricide in the warhead causing it to dud. If ABM is conventional it might detonate conventional explosives in warhead. Whether this produces yield or not depends on how safe the warhead was designed against one point detonation nuclear yield.
A typical nuclear warhead can weigh anywhere from several hundred pounds to a few thousand pounds, depending on its design and yield.
The Little Boy nuclear bomb weighed about 9,700 pounds (4,400 kg).
A nuclear missile can travel at speeds of more than 15,000 miles per hour (24,000 km/h). These missiles are designed to reach their targets as quickly as possible to minimize the chances of interception.

Build a missile for launching satellites into orbit. Build a nuclear bomb. Replace the satellite payload of your missile with that nuclear bomb. Adjust the missile guidance system to drop the bomb on a selected target instead of injecting it into orbit. Simple?
