No. Even at the peak of the cold war when both the US & USSR were at their largest stockpiles there was not enough.

Will the Earth burn if there were a solar flare?
No. Solar flares are a common occurrence. Earth's magnetic field protects us from the worst of it. The greatest danger is that an especially powerful solar flare could knock out satellites and damage electrical systems.
Why doesent earth simply fall into the sun?
This cannot happen because the gravitatonal forces of the Sun, Earth, and other planets make it so that we are held in perpetual orbit around the Sun. An unexpected disruption of this gravitational norm, like a blasck hole for example, is the only thing that could knock us out of our orbit.
What is affected by space junk?
The presence of space junk affects the operation of TV satellites, weather satellites, the International Space Station, and any spacecraft that's launched from Earth, because a nut or a bolt hitting one of these at a zillion miles per hour can knock them totally out of commission.
Does Aurora borealis emit light?
Yes it does, solarly charged electrons from the sun fall towards Earth at over one million miles per hour, it takes the electrons roughly 40 hours to reach Earth. When they fall towards the magnetic poles the charged electrons collide with nitrogen and oxygen atoms in the gaseous atmosphere, the knock an atom's electron off course and when it returns to the correct orbit the atom releases a photon. Photons are light particles, so yes the aurora borealis does emit light.
Is there a possibility that the earth will vanish?
It's really impossible to say without knowing how the Moon was destroyed. Assuming it was done in such a way that none of the pieces hit Earth, there wouldn't be much of an effect on Earth at all. There wouldn't be any more eclipses, tides would be smaller (and occur at about the same time every day), and nights on average would be slightly darker. If some of the pieces did hit Earth, it would be the mother of all meteor showers.

What type of energy is release when a proton is knock out of atoms nucleus?
nuclear energy
Does a nuclear bomb knock out electronic systems?
Detonated at a high enough altitude (~400 km ASL), a nuclear weapon can create an electromagnetic pulse which can disable many types of electrical systems. A large nuclear device detonated at around 500 kilometers above Kansas could in theory produce an EMP pulse large enough to cover the continental US. The EMP effects were studied and observed in various American nuclear tests. In the related links box below, I posted a link where you can see the figures.
When will the earth colapse?
when u knock on the ground with a hammer
How did nuclear weapons make it cold war?
At the heart of the Cold War and the development of nuclear weapons lay the concept of "Mutually Assured Destruction, fittingly shortened to MAD.The meaning of this was that both sides had so much weaponry that it was impossible to knock the enemy out completely with the first blow.And if you didn't manage that, the revenge would damage your countrybeyond what was considered acceptable.So it was called a "cold" war, because while it never broke out into a real war, both sides kept preparing and posing as if it MIGHT happen.
