Well to destroy the Earth and it's gravitational binds would take 7 Exatons of TNT, the Moon is roughly 25% of Earth's size. It's also not so simple, you have to take the planets and Moon mass into acount.
Not to be confused with a supernova - [See related]In a few hundred days a nova pumps out as much energy as the sun does for more than a million years.The Little Boy atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima exploded with an energy of about 15 kilotons of TNT (~6 × 1013 joules)During the Cold War, the United States developed hydrogen bombs with a maximum theoretical yield of 25 megatons (~1015 Joules)A nova releases as much energy as the Sun emits in a million years or 1034 jouleswhich is about ten quintillion megatons of TNT (~1018 joules)So you'd need about 17,000 of the most powerful hydrogen bombs to equal a nova.
Notice that detonating explosives like TNT and C-4 DO NOT require oxygen or any other outside reagent, so they can explode under water or in outer space.
The Chelyabinsk meteor, which exploded over Russia in 2013, was a small asteroid about 20 meters in diameter and released energy equivalent to approximately 470 kilotons of TNT, causing extensive damage to buildings and injuring over 1,500 people. In contrast, the Tunguska event of 1908 was caused by a much larger object, estimated to be around 50-60 meters in diameter, that exploded in the atmosphere with an energy equivalent to 10-15 megatons of TNT, flattening approximately 2,000 square kilometers of forest in Siberia. While Chelyabinsk impacted a populated area, Tunguska occurred in a remote region, resulting in no direct human casualties. Additionally, Chelyabinsk was well-documented with modern technology, while Tunguska was less understood and studied for decades due to its remote location and the time period in which it occurred.
The biggest nuclear explosion in history was a 50 megaton (equivalent to 50 million tons of tnt) bomb tested by the soviet union called the "Tsar Bomb". nobody was killed in the blast. the previous answer was completely false, Chernobyl was one of the smallest nuclear explosions in history, smaller than the Hiroshima bomb, which was only 17 kilotons (17 thousand tons of tnt, almost 3000 times smaller than the Tsar Bomb). People were mainly killed by the radiation. The blast didn't even kill everybody inside the actual plant (I'm not sure how many were killed in the blast, if somebody would like to add to this)
A notable meteoroid that entered Earth's atmosphere is the Chelyabinsk meteor, which struck over Russia on February 15, 2013. It was approximately 20 meters in diameter and exploded in an airburst with the energy equivalent to about 470 kilotons of TNT, causing widespread damage and injuries. This event highlighted the potential hazards posed by near-Earth objects and underscored the importance of monitoring such meteoroids.
Nope.
It may take a thousand of tons on TNT to pack a nuclear bomb. But to destroy the earth, it may take billions to trillions tons of TNT plus a nuclear igniter to blow the earth to bits of dust.
The amount of TNT required to destroy a building varies significantly based on factors such as the building's size, construction materials, and structural integrity. For example, a small residential building may require around 10 to 30 pounds of TNT, while larger commercial structures could need several hundred pounds or more. Additionally, the method of demolition and the desired level of destruction influence the amount of explosives used. Proper engineering assessments are crucial to determine the specific requirements for any demolition project.
Yes it can. TNT can destroy any block except air, water, lava and bedrock with the exception of in multiplayer when numerous other custom protected/added blocks are introduced, and in mods when a block is not programmed with the value.
You Need to use an torch then right click the TNT
500 tons of TNT could potentially destroy a large building, cause significant damage to a small neighborhood, or create a crater several meters deep, depending on how it is detonated and other surrounding factors.
If TNT explodes while in water it will not destroy blocks but will damage any mobs (players, animal or monsters) in the blast radius.
No. Any explosions, no matter TNT or creeper, can destroy obsidian
you need to be in multi-player or a server to make the TNT work.
You need four sand and five gunpowder arranged like this: GSG SGS GSG
In order to destroy bedrock in Minecraft, either the super pick-axe command or TNT can be used. These are the only two options without cheats.
One thing that you can do in Worldcraft Survivor is to make TNT. In order to make TNT in the game, you need to build things. The game is all about building you own city and universe.
