Atomic bombs release various forms of radiation, including gamma rays, neutrons, and initial infrared radiation. The amount of radiation depends on the type and yield of the bomb. Immediate exposure to high levels of radiation can cause severe radiation sickness, burns, and even death.

What bombs are much more powerful than the atomic bombs?
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.
How much do atomic bombs weigh?
The weight of an atomic bomb can vary depending on its design and yield. However, typical weights for atomic bombs used during World War II range from around 4,000 to 10,000 pounds.
Is an atomic bomb or a nuclear bomb more powerful?
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.
How much land does an atomic bomb destroy?
The destructive radius of an atomic bomb can vary, depending on the bomb's yield and design, as well as factors such as terrain and weather conditions. Generally, the immediate blast radius can be several square miles, but the effects of radiation and fallout can impact a much larger area, potentially causing widespread destruction and contamination.
How much radiation was released from the chernobyl accident?
The Chernobyl nuclear disaster released an estimated 400 times more radiation than the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. It is difficult to quantify the exact amount of radiation released, but it is estimated to be around 100 times more than the combined releases from the atomic bombings and the Fukushima nuclear disaster.
What bombs are much more powerful than the atomic bombs?
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.
Did the radiation improve in Hiroshima and Nagasaki after the atomic bomb?
Yes, the radiation was much more abundant after the atomic bomb.
How much energy was in the atomic bombs that were dropped in Hiroshima?
It was about 12 kilotons.
Where did they drop the bombs at in world war 2?
If you are talking about the atomic bombs, they were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. If you mean normal bombs... pretty much everywhere...
How have bombs changed since world war 2?
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.
Does atomic explosion and nuclear explosion mean the same?
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)
What was the use of atomic bombs?
If the atomin bomb didnt work. The preident (Harry Truman) would launch an all-out attack on Japan that I would estimate kill as much people as 20 atomic bombs.
Where were the first nuclear bombs dropped?
A nuclear bomb has never been dropped. It was an atomic bomb that was dropped on the Japanese cities Hiroshima ans Nagasaki. An atomic bomb is a nuclear weapon. Nuclear bombs have much more impact than atomic bombs, and could potentially end the World if a nuclear war was started.
How much did the atomic bombs uses in world war 2 cost?
they were 2.000 dollars each
How much do atomic bombs weigh?
The weight of an atomic bomb can vary depending on its design and yield. However, typical weights for atomic bombs used during World War II range from around 4,000 to 10,000 pounds.
What are the hydrogen bombs after effects?
basically the same as fission bombs but as the yield of fusion bombs are typically much higher the effects are typically much higher.Note: it is possible to build clean low yield fusion bombs with far less fallout than similar yield fission bombs, but the prompt radiation effects are worse.
Did the use of the atomic bombs shape American foreign policy during the Cold war?
very much
