Is there a bomb worse than nuclear bombs?

Not at this time, the yield of hydrogen bombs (a type of nuclear bomb) has no theoretical limit. However usable bombs no matter what type they are have practical limits and we have already built and tested successfully bombs with yields far higher than can be militarily practical (nobody ever had a real military use for the 50 megaton bomb the USSR tested in 1961 called the Tsar Bomba!).

Edward Teller once proposed building gigaton range hydrogen bombs, but the plan was promptly rejected as the vast majority of the blastwave of such high yield explosions would only blow the atmosphere above the point of detonation off into space (the military wants surface damage not removal of atmosphere!) producing less surface damage than lower yield less expensive bombs.

The trend since the middle 1970s has actually been lower and lower yield hydrogen bombs that when employed as several explosions spaced across an area produce greater damage more economically than one higher yield yield bomb could.

==========

In terms of long term damage there are different types of nuclear bombs. Those which spread large quantities of persistent high-level radiation materials could be argued as "worst" - but they are still considered nuclear weapons. A "dirty bomb" which simply uses a conventional explosive to spread radioactive materials over a wide area to contaminate it could possibly be considered equally bad.

What is the comparison between credits and college hours?

For colleges and universities that operate on a regular two semester academic year, one credit means one hour (credit hour) of class contact time. For example, a three credit course means the student is required to attend a class three hours per week. Some three credit (credit hour) courses may be offered once a week for three hours, or twice a week for an hour and a half, or three times a week for one hour per session.
