Is the atomic bomb the same thing as the nuclear missile?
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.
Which bomb is more dangerous a nuclear bomb or an atomic bomb?
A nuclear bomb and an atomic bomb are virtually synonymous. The two terms are both used to refer to a nuclear weapon. Even Wikipedia agrees. The use of either term as a search argument redirects the answer to the article Nuclear Weapon. A link is provided. from benjaminmarkiewicz that dont make any sense a nuclear bombs blow travels 100s of miles and is more powerful cause its the newly invented bomb and the atomic bombs blow travel is under a nuclear bombs travel rate
Which one is more powerful A Nuke or an Atomic Bomb?
An atomic bomb is a type of nuclear weapon, which includes both fission and fusion bombs. A nuke is a colloquial term for a nuclear weapon, which can refer to either an atomic bomb or a hydrogen bomb. Hydrogen bombs are generally more powerful than traditional atomic bombs.
Is the atomic bomb a nuclear bomb?
Yes, both atomic and nuclear describe what mechanism causes an explosion. It is causes by atoms decaying, or the nucleus being split apart and releasing energy.More exactly, a nuclear weapon is one which derives its power from energy released by breaking intra-nuclear bonds (i.e. the energy that holds neutrons and protons together inside an atom's nucleus). There are four types (currently) of nuclear weapons:An atomic bomb is more properly called a fissionweapon, in that it derives power from splitting a heavy element (usually U-238 or P-239) into smaller elements.A thermonuclear bomb is one that relies on fusion, where lightweight elements (isotopes of Hydrogen) are pushed together. Currently, all such weapons require a small atomic bomb to act as the trigger for the fusion reaction, but the vast majority of their yield is from fusion.A hybrid weapon, also called a fission-fusion-fission weapon, is a thermonuclear bomb wrapped in a uranium shell to boost the yield by using escaping neutrons from the fusion reaction to ignite the uranium shell's fission.A boosted atomic weapon is a normal atomic bomb which has gaseous tritium (a hydrogen isotope) injected just prior to detonation. This gas undergoes fusion, increasing the yield of the weapon.
What is the difference between an Atomic Bomb and a Nuclear Missile?
An atomic bomb is an explosive device that obtains its energy from the atomic nucleus. it is equally valid to call it a nuclear bomb, and it can obtain this energy through either of the processes of fission and/or fusion. There are many ways an atomic bomb can be delivered to its target: aircraft, unguided rocket, guided missile, cruise missile, torpedo, depth charge, hand carried, landmine (the target comes to it), artillery shell, jeep/tripod mounted bazooka, etc. Atomic bombs were also proposed and tested for several peaceful uses: blasting for construction (e.g. highways, railroads, canals), oil industry (e.g. natural gas extraction, oil extraction from tar sands), spacecraft propulsion (Project Orion 1958 to 1963), etc. A nuclear missile usually means a guided missile with an atomic bomb (aka warhead) as its payload, the guided missile is the means of delivering that atomic bomb to its target. However it is also possible in some circumstances to interpret nuclear missile as equivalent to nuclear rocket. A nuclear rocket uses a nuclear reactor to heat a gas (e.g. hydrogen) to propel the rocket, as usually visualized the payload of a nuclear rocket is a deep space probe of some kind (but it could just as easily be a manned spacecraft or an atomic bomb).
What is the difference between a nuclear weapon and a biological weapon?
Active material as well as the entire design.
What is a nuclear weapon in wich enormous energy is released by nuclear fission?
This nuclear weapon is called an atomic bomb or a nuclear bomb
What is an atomic weapon?
An atomic weapon, also known as a nuclear weapon, is a type of explosive device that releases energy from a nuclear reaction. This reaction can involve the fission (splitting) or fusion (combining) of atomic nuclei, resulting in a powerful blast and release of radiation. Atomic weapons have the potential to cause massive destruction and loss of life.
What is a nuclear weapon in which enormous energy is released by nuclear fission?
A nuclear bomb or atomic bomb
How do you make a atomic bomb on Doodle God?
plutonium + weapon
Where and when has nuclear energy been used?
Nuclear weapon, nuclear (atomic) power stations. Also the Sun works on nuclear reactions.
Why was the test of the nuclear weapon in los alamos so important?
The creation of the first Atomic Weapon. Ending of WW2
What is the nuclear weapon greater than the atomic bomb?
They are both the same thing.
What is the difference between a nuke and a tactical nuke?
There is NO difference; a nuclear weapon is a nuclear weapon. A tactical nuclear weapon is normally deployed from a nuclear cannon (atomic cannon/nuclear artillery). These pieces were developed in the 1950s, and fired quite frequently in Nevada at atomic test sites. Strategy is the big picture. Tactics is the small picture. Or, as Napoleon may have once said, "Strategy is out of cannon range, tactics is within cannon range." ------------------------------------ The difference is explosive yield. Regular nukes are typically measured in megatons, while tactical nukes are smaller and measured in kilotons. Tactical nukes were intended to be used at the tactical level against specific battlefield targets and in relative close proximity to friendly troops. Regular nukes were meant as a deterrence and were intended to destroy large cities.
What did Julius Robert oppenheimer invent?
He invented the first nuclear weapon, the atomic bomb.
What new weapon ddid the United States developed in Cold War?
Man's entry into the atomic age in 1945 created a long list of new ATOMIC weapons. From cannons firing atomic mini bombs (atomic artillery shells) to Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles (ICBM's). Other than the nuclear weapon ITSELF...the really new invention was atomic (nuclear) energy; such as nuclear powered submarines and warships.
How did they built the nuclear weapon?
