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).
How heavy was the atomic bomb?
'Little Boy' the atomic bomb used on Hiroshima weighed 8,900 pounds whereas 'Fat Man' , the atomic weapon used on Nagasaki weighed 10,200 pounds .
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 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.

Why is an atomic bomb sometimes called a fisson bomb?
The term atomic bomb is a general one. It refers to any kind of nuclear weapon. But there are basically a couple of different types of nuclear weapon: the fission weapon, and the fusion weapon. (We can split hairs and add some, but let's not.) In a "regular" atomic or nuclear weapon, a fission weapon, subcritical masses of fissile material, usually plutonium, are driven together by conventional explosives and the thing goes off. Boom! There is fission, but no fusion. That differentiates this type of weapon from a fusion device. The term fusion deviceis used to talk about what used to be called the hydrogen bomb. The fusion weapon must have a fission device to create the heat necessary for fusion to occur, and it uses the fission bomb to "trigger" fusion in that light. If someone uses the term "fission bomb" in a presentation, they are not talking about the so-called hydrogen bomb or any fusion weapon - if they are using the term correctly.
