Why 5.56 mm caliber is more powerful than 9 mm caliber?
"Powerful" is somewhat of a subective term, but the answer is yes. 5.56 is a rifle cartridge and 9mm, assuming you mean 9mm parabellum, is a handgun cartridge. Under normal circumstances, bullets fired from rifles will have more velocity and more muzzle energy than bullets fired from handguns.

Which is a bigger handgun a 40 caliber or a 45 caliber?
Either platform can be larger than the other. The 45 has the larger projectile. Caliber is defined as the diameter in fractions of an inch, so .40 caliber is smaller in diameter than .45 caliber. Caliber can also be defined in the metric system, measured in milimeters. The .40 caliber cartridge is equivalent to 10mm in diameter. As noted, the size of a handgun can vary widely within one caliber, so it is perfectly reasonable to have a smaller handgun crafted in a larger caliber.
Is a 40 caliber more powerful then 45 caliber handgun?
no, a 45 caliber is way more powerful than a 40 caliber Actually, it depends. The following is copied from another answer of mine: The muzzle energy from a .45 caliber round can vary between 350 to a little over 500 ft-lbs, with velocites from about 850 feet per second to over 1000 FPS. The .40 caliber round can range from about 480 to about 570 ft-lbs of energy with velocities ranging from about 1000 FPS to about 1400 FPS. So, in short, it depends on the specifications of the particular cartridges you are comparing.

Yes, a 9mm caliber round is generally more powerful than a .380 ACP bullet.

This increased power translates to greater stopping power and penetration compared to the .380 caliber.
