The first Atomic Bombs were used during World War 2 in 1945 by the US onto 2 Japanese cities.

This was followed by a brief period of relative calm, and now we are in the age of terrorism, in which we wait nervously to see if terrorists are going to get their hands on a nuclear weapon.Some people wait fatalistically for massive calamities to come, while others struggle to prevent them. The world remains very chaotic.

I question why this is in the "Japan in WW2" section, but regardless. No, the sun is obviously not a bomb. However, you probably meant to ask something like, does the sun behave similar to an atomic bomb. The answer is, kinda. Most a-bombs use fission, while some use small fission reactions to create a fusion reaction, and are thus similar to the fusion reaction which makes the sun what it is.
