Absolutely not 100,000 cant even destroy a continent like Europe. to have a bomb destroy the world it would have to weigh at least 500 petatons of tnt which is about 200 million billion tons of tnt, a lot.

An atomic war world wide with thousands of unleashed bombs would do little more to the planet earth than an ant hive does in our world.

A nuciance, but that is probably all it will be.

Life on earth as we know it would probably be at stake though.

Atomic bombs are those with the most dangerous after-effects. Radioactive fallout that will be active for 50-100 years afterwards at least. Long term effects not fully known yet.

We don't know about that but a asteroid is supposed to hit the earth and blow it up in 2880 if it doesn't then a comet will blow it up.

A single bomb could not really destroy the planet, unless it was imedded deep within the core of the earth but it would have to be so much more massive than anything we've ever come close to creating.

A bomb (much smaller then the earth destroying one, but still on the magniture of millions of times more powerful then what was dropped on Japan) could kick up enough debris into the atmosphere to block out the sun for many years, leading to the death of most planets, and so most animals. This would result is the destruction of most life on earth, but not the end of the planet itself.

Can one atom bomb destroy half the world? No. Anything that powerful would destroy the whole planet.

Can atom bombs destroy half the world? Sure. That's easy. Just light off 2,000 - 3,000 bombs in major cities and let the fallout kill the rest. If you put all of them into a concentrated area, it would be like a meteoric event.

Not at the moment, because no nation would benefit from such an outcome. Their is no reason why we can't build a hydrogen bomb with that much power, so someday somebody probably will.

A hydrogen bomb of that set off on the surface of the earth will have a large chunk of it's energy blasted off into space achieving nothing but altering the orbit of the planet slightly. In order to destroy the world it would need to be set off near the core; for which it will need to be delivered to the core without melting. which is beyond our current engineering.

No, but 10,000 bombs might destroy most of the population centers of one.

No, it obviously can't if an atomic bomb only completley destroys a city and maybe others around it than how the heck could it destroy a continent
