Would one nuclear bomb destroy a city like New York?
Yes, a fusion bomb (hydrogen bomb) would destroy New York City.
What would a 90 Gigaton nuclear bomb be like?
A gigaton is 1000 megatons so it would be destroy an an area the size of Louisiana. But of course there is no such thing as a gigaton for bombs. IN FACT, there are already 1+ gigaton nuclear weapons. A 1 GT bomb would destroy an area the size of Texas, just with the expansive wave. A 90 GT bomb could change the planet trajectory.
How much heat would a nuclear bomb produce?
it is impossible to tell because the force would destroy anyything, including a thermometer!
Can a nuclear bomb destroy Colombia?
Theoretically, yes. Practically, no, nobody has ever built a single bomb of high enough yield to destroy an entire country in one shot; also any such bomb would waste most of its yield in simply blowing off the top of the atmosphere into space. It just isn't practical with a single bomb.
What would be the fallout area if Chicago were hit with a nuclear bomb?
That would depend on yield, height of burst, if the bomb was "salted" or not, wind, and weather conditions. Fallout is very hard to predict.

How many people can a nuclaer bomb kill?
A nuclear bomb can destroy a city and the surrounding area. Think if New York City was bomb with an atom bomb. 8 million plus people would be killed instantly and milions more would die from the fallout or burns or other injuries. Injuries would be in the millions too.
Could a nuclear bomb hit and destroy Rhode Island?
That would depend on yield and height/depth of burst.

Can a nuclear bomb destroy the atmosphere?
Yes, If it was carried into the ozone layer by a space ship and then detonated, then we would be in trouble. :D
How was a nuclear bomb used as a threat?
In the same way that any weapon would be used as a threat- If you do this, I will do that. For many years, the US and the Soviet Union had a strategy known as MAD- Mutually Assured Destruction- If we are attacked with nuclear weapons, we will respond with Nuclear Weapons. You have enough to destroy us, but we would also destroy you.
