There have been over a thousand nuclear explosions on Earth since they were invented. If you know how to use Google Earth, the very first nuclear explosion took place at the Trinity test site at 33o40'38"N 106o28'94"W. Type these numbers into the "fly to" window (33 40 37 N 106 28 29 W)" If you find this and your map is facing north, you can also see a small crater just below and to the right. This is where 100 tons of TNT (Tri-Nitro-Toluene) were exploded to calibrate the first atomic bomb. The first atomic bomb used in war was dropped on the Japanese city of Hiroshima on August 6th1945. This was a uranium bomb. The second, and last used in war thankfully, was dropped on the Japanese city of Nagasaki 3 days later on August 9th. After that, many test explosions were detonated. The largest atomic bomb on Earth was detonated by the Soviet Union and was 57Megatons or the same as 57 million tons of TNT.
