That depends on the model of bomb:

  • Little Boy (MK-1) was 125 inches long
  • Fat Man (MK-3) was 10.7 feet long
  • MK-4 was 128 inches long
  • MK-5 was 129 to 132 inches long
  • MK-6 was 128 inches long
  • MK-17/24 was 24 feet 8 inches long
  • MK-90 depth bomb was 10 feet 2 inches long
  • W9 artillery shell was 55 inches long (for the 280 mm "Atomic Cannon")
  • W33 artillery shell was about 32 inches long
  • W80 ICBM warhead was 31.4 inches long
  • Davy Crockett (MK-28/29) was 31 inches long

What is the difference between an atomic bomb and a nuclear weapon?

An atomic bomb is a type of nuclear weapon that releases energy through nuclear fission (splitting of atomic nuclei). Nuclear weapon is a broader term that encompasses atomic bombs, as well as hydrogen bombs which release energy through nuclear fusion (combining atomic nuclei).


Briefly explain how a hydrogen bomb works and how its differs from an atom bomb?

A Hydrogen bomb uses heavy Hydrogen or Deuterium to create a fusion chain reaction. Before that can happen however there needs to be a smaller fission explosion (atomic bomb). The radiation from this trigger explosion is directed into a hollow chamber like a bucket pointed at the atomic bomb, which contains Deuterium. Often there is a rod of Plutonium running the length of the bucket at the centre. This is designed to amplify the chain reaction and spark fusion releasing much greater quantity of energy.OK, you asked for briefly.atomic bomb at one end of hydrogen bomb casing detonates.x-rays from atomic bomb implode hydrogen bomb, heating & raising pressure in it.when at high enough temperature & pressure, hydrogen bomb explodes.An atomic bomb is just the atomic bomb mentioned at the beginning of step 1.A full description of all the events in a typical fission-fusion-fission hydrogen bomb consists of almost 2 dozen steps. A full description of the events in a typical fission atomic bomb is less than 6 steps.


What was the name of atomic bomb test site?

The atomic bomb test site was named the Trinity Test Site. It was located in New Mexico, USA, and was where the first atomic bomb was successfully detonated on July 16, 1945.
