An explosion is a sudden release of energy outward, causing a rapid expansion of gases. Detonation is a specific type of explosion where the energy release occurs through a supersonic shockwave. In other words, all detonations are explosions, but not all explosions are detonations.
The detonation point of a nuclear bomb explosion is where the bomb is triggered to release its energy. This can occur either in the air, on the ground, or underwater, depending on the desired impact and effect of the explosion. The detonation point is carefully chosen to maximize the destructive potential of the bomb.
The opposite of detonation is deflagration. Deflagration is a subsonic combustion process where the reaction moves through a substance slower than the speed of sound, in contrast to detonation which is supersonic.
blast, eruption
A low-order detonation is either incomplete detonation or complete detonation at lower than maximum velocity -OR- leave large ordanance fragments containing explosives and may leave chunks or pieces of exposed explosive; do not move remaining debris
A quiet explosion refers to an explosive event that produces a low level of noise compared to typical explosions. This can be achieved through controlled detonation processes, such as using special equipment or techniques to minimize sound levels.
When the engine detonates its referring to the engine giving spark to the compressed air/fuel in the cylinder, when theres combustion its simply the explosion that happens after ignition.
both are the same thing..............
Detonation involves a supersonic exothermic. Knocking in a engine is spark-ignition internal combustion.

The biggest explosion in history was the detonation of the Hydrogen bomb in the Bikini Atoll in the 1950s.

Riddle: What is the difference between a bicycle that falls from a rooftop and one that is destroyed in an explosion?Answer: If a bicycle falls from a rooftop, then there it is. But if it is destroyed in an explosion, then where is it?

Yes, the conventional explosives would trigger an explosion of the conventional explosives inside the nuclear bomb which would blow apart the nuclear components of the nuclear bomb, causing significant alpha emitter radiological contamination but no nuclear yield.
Explosion
An underground nuclear detonation creates a crater in the Earth's surface. The explosion occurs beneath the ground, causing the soil and rock to be displaced upwards, resulting in a visible crater above the detonation point.
