A gigaton is 1000 megatons so it would be destroy an an area the size of Louisiana. But of course there is no such thing as a gigaton for bombs.
IN FACT, there are already 1+ gigaton nuclear weapons. A 1 GT bomb would destroy an area the size of Texas, just with the expansive wave. A 90 GT bomb could change the planet trajectory.
What else can I help you with?
Can a nuclear reactor explode as a nuclear bomb?
Highly unlikely if not altogether impossible. In a core meltdown, you might see a steam explosion if the core melts and breaches the containment structure and hits say cooling water. But even a runaway chain reaction in a reactor would not cause a nuclear explosion like a bomb.
Would one nuclear bomb destroy a city like New York?
One nuclear bomb has the capability to cause significant destruction to a city like New York, depending on the size and location of the blast. The extent of damage would also be influenced by factors such as the type of bomb, altitude of detonation, and prevailing weather conditions. The impact would likely be catastrophic, resulting in widespread devastation and loss of life.
What is the range of destruction for a nuclear bomb?
it depends...an ICBM would reach about 50 miles....a regular nuke like Hiroshima around 100 miles it depends on many different variables like hills, urban area even humidity but that's the average distance of a nuclear bomb.
What does a nuke look like?
Well, there are two types of Nuke, A bomb and a missile or commonly referred to as 'Nuclear Bomb' and 'Nuclear Warhead (or missile)'. It looks like a standard bomb in shape but not size. But there are two versions of Nuclear bomb, Fission and Fusion. The Fission one is more like a standard bomb but larger and the Fusion one looks like a Mini-Missile but is still dropped like a bomb. The Nuclear Warhead (or missile) looks like a missile obviously. The easiest way to answer this question is to look on Google Images and next time you wonder something like this, Please, Don't waste the good people's time to answer your stupidity and minor amount of common sense.
Is the nuclear bomb more powerful than the hydrogen bomb?
Nuclear bomb can mean either fission or fusion bomb. Hydrogen bomb means fusion bomb. The fusion bomb can be built with any yield one wants, just by adding more stages with more fuel. The fission bomb has a theoretical maximum yield that cannot be exceeded.

What is larger megaton or gigaton?
A gigaton is larger than a megaton. Specifically, one gigaton is equal to 1,000 megatons. Both terms are used to measure large quantities, often in contexts like carbon emissions or explosive yield, with gigaton representing a greater scale.

Is a nuclear bomb is as powerful to destroy a city?
Edward Teller proposed building a 10 gigaton fusion bomb. Such a bomb could easily destroy everything in any of one of the small eastern states (e.g. Rhode Island, Delaware, New Jersey, Vermont). A 5 to 10 megaton fusion bomb could destroy large cities like New York, Chicago, Oakland. Even the ~20 kiloton fission bombs of WW2 destroyed typical cities (except their outskirts) in Japan. So, yes.
How are nuclear bomb factories created?
like any other factory.
Is californium good for you?
No. That's like asking if a nuclear bomb is good for you.
What did herasheama look like after the nuclear bomb went off?
Hiroshima was nearly totally destroyed by the atom bomb.
What are the effects of EMP explosion on the body?
First of all, EMPs don't really explode like a nuclear bomb. It releases alot of energy like a nuclear bomb. EMP's do not affect the body... that much.
What did Japan look like after World War 2?
Like a nuclear bomb exploded in japan.
