It depends on who made the bomb and you need more detail on what exact kind of bomb you have and for what.

Which is more destructive a nuclear bomb or 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.


How much do nuclear bombs weigh?

The weight of a nuclear bomb depends on the bomb. Deliverable nuclear bombs have been built with weights as small as 50 pounds to as large as 30 tons. The first hydrogen bomb built (Ivy Mike test Sausage device) weighed 54 tons, but was never intended as a deliverable bomb (including the cryogenic equipment needed to keep its deuterium-tritium fusion fuel liquid the complete setup weighed 82 tons).


How heavy is a nuclear bomb?

The weight of a nuclear bomb can vary depending on its size and design, but they generally range from a few hundred pounds to several tons. For example, the "Little Boy" bomb dropped on Hiroshima weighed about 9,700 pounds, while modern nuclear warheads can be as small as a few hundred pounds.


How big is a nuclear bomb?

Nuclear weapons currently produced are between the sizes of a microwave oven and a pickup truck. The smallest have an explosive yield in the sub-kiloton range, and the largest are equal to between 5 and 20 megatons of TNT. For a nuclear bomb, most of the size and weight is shielding, to protect the handlers from the radiation from the bomb core.


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).
