It depends on too many factors such as the height of the detonation, the exact yield, the geography and location and amount of people.

I'd say it'd be in the millions for sure. Maybe tens of millions.

Also, if you wanted to get more complex, are you including deaths due to fallout and contamination? Probably not.

How many tons of TNT would it take to produce a 2 megaton explosion?

2,000,000. By definition.


A 1-megaton nuclear weapon produces about 4 x 10-15 J of energy How much mass must vanish when a 5-megaton nuclear weapon explodes?

If 1 megaton ==> 4 x 1015 joules, then 5 megaton ==> 2 x 1016 joules.Using Einsteins Equation:E = m c2.m = E / c2.'c' = speed of light = 3.0 X 108 m/s.m = (2 X 1016) / (3.0 X 108)2 = (2 X 1016) / (9.0 X 1016) = 0.22 kilograms


Compare the energy of a 1-megaton hydrogen bomb to the energy released by a major earthquake?

A magnitude 8 earthquake releases approximately the same energy as a 15 megaton nuclear explosion (e.g. Castle Bravo test in 1954). This is the same as fifteen 1 megaton nuclear explosions. Note: the photo above is of a 0.5 megaton nuclear explosion.


How much megaton explosion does it take to destabilize the earth's core?

It is not possible to determine the exact megaton of explosion needed to destabilize the Earth's core, as it is well beyond our current technological capabilities. The Earth's core is incredibly massive and stable, requiring an amount of energy far beyond what could be produced by human-made explosives. Any such attempt would have catastrophic consequences for the entire planet.


Explosion takes place on the moon will it be seen?

An explosion on the moon would not be visible from Earth without specialized equipment like powerful telescopes. The moon is over 380,000 km away from Earth, so the explosion would be too small and distant to be seen with the naked eye.


What is the displacement of a 50 Megaton bomb?

The displacement caused by a 50 megaton bomb would depend on various factors such as the type of explosion and the surrounding terrain. In general, the blast radius of a bomb of this magnitude could extend for several miles, causing widespread destruction and displacement of debris and structures in the affected area.


What would be the blast radius of a 200 megaton nuclear bomb?

Well i did some rough estimates...prob be like 56 milesA blast radius is equal to the square root of the megatonage. A 1 megaton bomb has a blast radius of severe damage of about 4 miles. Therefore a 200 megaton bomb (14 being about the square root) would have about a 56 mile radius. Though direct exposure to the explosion at that distance could probably still cause severe burns and it would probably cause damage as much as 200 miles out.


What would happen if a thermonuclear bomb went off?

Your mom would explode.


Can you develop a place which would be safe from nuclear explosion impact?

NORAD's Cheyenne Mountain base completed in 1966 is capable of surviving 30 megaton explosions at just over 1 mile distance without damage. At least one direct hit of similar yield can be survived with minimal damage.


What area would a 50 megaton bomb devastate?

A 50 megaton bomb would create a blast radius of about 7.5 miles (12 kilometers) and cause extensive damage within this area. The effects would include complete destruction of buildings, severe injuries, and fatalities, along with widespread fires and radiation fallout.


If a nuclear weapon exploded on a nuclear Power Plant would the explosion radius increase?

No, a nuclear explosion on a nuclear power plant would not cause the explosion radius to increase. The explosion radius would be determined by the yield of the nuclear weapon itself, not by the presence of the power plant.


What would happen if all the Corvettes in the world exploded?

there would be no more corvettes and it would cause damage to people and depending on the size of the explosion other types of matter
