The atomic bomb, formed my nuclear fission?
that was dropped by Americans on Japan?
well first, there was 2 of them and to answer your question
HUGE
Atomic bombs are measured by the mega tonne. That is the equivalent of 1 million tons of TNT. So a 50 mega tonne bomb is the equivalent of 50,000,000 tonnes of TNT exploding. The actual size of the bomb can be anything from a giant rocket to the size of a suitcase

Nuclear bombs vary in size, with some having explosive yields equivalent to hundreds or thousands of tons of TNT. The size of a nuclear bomb is typically measured in terms of its explosive yield, which can range from a few kilotons to multiple megatons.
It is unlikely for a nuclear bomb or reaction to blow up a whole state. The explosive power of a nuclear bomb is devastating, but the physical size of a typical state is much larger. The impact of a nuclear explosion would be significant within a certain radius, but it would not cover an entire state.
A hydrogen bomb (thermonuclear bomb) is more destructive than a regular nuclear bomb (fission bomb). Hydrogen bombs release much larger amounts of energy and have the potential to create significantly more devastation and damage.
Nuclear bombs have the potential to create extremely large explosions, depending on their size and design. The most powerful nuclear bomb ever detonated, the Tsar Bomba, had an explosive yield of about 50 megatons (equivalent to 50 million tons of TNT) and created a blast radius of over 20 miles.
The distance a nuclear bomb can reach depends on various factors such as the size of the bomb, the altitude at which it detonates, weather conditions, and landscape. Generally, a large nuclear bomb could have a blast radius of several miles and cause destruction over a wider area through the effects of heat, blast, and radiation.
The size of a nuclear bomb explosion can vary depending on the yield of the bomb. Nuclear bombs can range from a few kilotons (equal to thousands of tons of TNT) to megatons (equal to millions of tons of TNT) in explosive power. The effects of a nuclear bomb explosion can extend for miles, causing widespread destruction and loss of life.
