It varies. Technically a cyclone can be almost any large scale low pressure system with a closed circulation, and most such systems are not damaging. However, hurricanes and similar storms, which are a kind of cyclone, can cause far more damage and have much higher death tolls than tornadoes. Both the costliest and deadliest natural disasters in U.S. history were hurricanes (Hurricane Katrina and the 1900 Galveston hurricane respectively). It can be even more complicated however, as cyclones can cause tornadoes.
A cyclone is bigger than a tornado by far, but a tornado is usually more violent.
No. A cyclone can produce tornadoes, but it cannot become one. They are two very different types of weather event.
In the northern hemisphere the right side of a tornado is generally worse. Since most tornadoes in the northern hemisphere rotate clockwise the winds right side of the tornado will be equal to the speed at which it spins plus the speed it is moving at. The opposite is true in the southern hemisphere.
A wedge tornado is a tornado that appears wider than it is tall.
No. A tornado and a twister are the same thing.
No. Twister is just another word for a tornado.
A cyclone is bigger than a tornado by far, but a tornado is usually more violent.
A cyclone is another word for a tornado, so no hurricanes are bigger
No. Cyclones and tornadoes are completely different phenomena.
This most closely describes a tornado, though a tornado technically is not a cyclone.
A tornado is also commonly known as a cyclone.
It depends on the cyclone, and the tornado. In some cases cyclone winds and tornado winds fall into the same range. However, tornado winds are generally stronger. By definition, a tornado must produce winds strong enough to cause damage; the same is not true of a cyclone. The very strongest tornadoes produce winds in excess of 300 mph, the fastest winds on earth.
No. While a tornado and a cyclone have a number of things in common, they are two different things. A tornado is a small-scale circulation that is dependent on a parent storm cell. A cyclone is a large-scale circulation that is its own independent weather system.
A cyclone is a large scale weather system typically a few hundred to a couple thousand miles across. A tornado is a violently rotating column of air that is usually less than a mile wide.
There is no such thing as a "cyclone 5 tornado." You can have a category 5 hurricane or an EF5 tornado. In either case, the answer would be no; there is too much turbulence.

No. A hurricane is a type of cyclone, but a tornado is not. A cyclone is a large-scale weather system. A tornado is a small-scale circulation.
