Depends on the size of the weapon- they come in different yields. Depends too on the blast type. There are three different types of detonations: air, surface, and sub-surface. Each has a different purpose and does different damage.
See the link below for a rough idea of the blast area of a one kiloton device.
That depends on its yield and height/depth of burst.
The amount of heat produced by a nuclear bomb varies depending on the size of the bomb. A typical nuclear bomb can release millions to billions of degrees of heat within milliseconds, resulting in temperatures hotter than the surface of the sun at the point of detonation.
Yes and no depending on the size of the bomb or reaction and also the size of the state if it was Texas the bomb or reaction would have to be as big as or bigger then an apartment room.But a nuclear bomb isn't the most powerful bomb in the world the most powerful bomb is a hydrogen bomb.
A hydrogen bomb (thermonuclear bomb) is more destructive than a regular nuclear bomb (fission bomb). Hydrogen bombs release much larger amounts of energy and have the potential to create significantly more devastation and damage.
The Little Boy nuclear bomb weighed about 9,700 pounds (4,400 kg).
That depends on too many variables to give a simple answer:YieldBurst height/depthTerrainConstruction of buildingsWeatherIf burst is subsurface, material around burst (dirt, rock, concrete, water, etc.)etc.Every type of nuclear bomb is different, as well as the circumstances of its use.

There are currently no nuclear weapons big enough that just one could destroy the US. It is possible that enough of them could pretty much destroy our way of life for decades to come.
One bomb? Not much. Thousands of bombs? Severe disaster.
Pretty much the same thing it would do to anyplace else.

For a massive wedge tornado, anything short of a nuclear bomb would probably not do much. A nuclear bomb would probably disrupt it, but at the same time would cause far more damage than the tornado itself could.

There isn't much difference in these terms. Both refer to nuclear weapons, and they are general terms that can pretty much be used interchangeably.
The Little Boy nuclear bomb weighed about 9,700 pounds (4,400 kg).
We have the ability to destroy the world with one nuclear weapon. An entire nuclear war could destroy the entire solar system if we had the opportunity to.
