A nuke can cover up to 200 miles. Mega Ton nukes blow up even farther. But the real affect of a nuke is the radiation. One nuke can spread radiation all over Europe. If you do get radiation you die in 2 days.
Though the answer above overstates the case they can be truly devastating.
The effect of a nuclear weapon depends on the 'yield' of the bomb.
The yield is measured in equivalent tonnage of TNT exploding but this is only an indication of the blast and not the radiation.
The bomb dropped on Hiroshima had an equivalent tonnage of 15 -20,000 tons of TNT.
The weapons today can be constructed in the millions of tons range easily.
The blast radius of a nuclear bomb can vary depending on its size and type. A typical nuclear bomb could produce a blast radius of up to several kilometers and cause significant damage. The effects of a nuclear bomb also extend beyond the blast radius due to factors like heat, radiation, and fallout.
A gravity dropped nuclear bomb could fall several tens of thousands of feet from bomber to detonation. A ballistic missile's warhead could travel tens of thousands of miles from launch site to detonation.
The distance at which you could protect yourself from a nuclear bomb would depend on various factors such as the size of the bomb, topography, and type of protection. In general, seeking shelter in a sturdy building or underground structure can offer the best protection from a nuclear blast, radiation, and fallout. It is recommended to follow official guidelines and emergency procedures in the event of a nuclear attack.
No, the hydrogen bomb, also known as a thermonuclear bomb, is more powerful than a nuclear bomb. A hydrogen bomb derives its energy from the fusion of hydrogen isotopes, whereas a nuclear bomb relies on fission of heavy atoms like uranium or plutonium. This fusion reaction in a hydrogen bomb releases far more energy, making it more powerful.
The destructive range of a large nuclear bomb can vary greatly depending on its size and design. A very large nuclear bomb could potentially cause devastation over a radius of several miles, leading to significant casualties and destruction of infrastructure. However, the exact reach would depend on many factors such as the specific yield, altitude of detonation, and surrounding geography.
The destructive radius of a nuclear bomb varies depending on its size and yield. Generally, it can extend for several miles, causing devastating damage to buildings and infrastructure. The effects of a nuclear blast include heat, blast waves, and radioactive fallout, resulting in widespread destruction.
Never, as far as we know.
A gravity dropped nuclear bomb could fall several tens of thousands of feet from bomber to detonation. A ballistic missile's warhead could travel tens of thousands of miles from launch site to detonation.
That will depend on the size of the bomb, how far above ground it explodes, and how far away it is from you.

For a massive wedge tornado, anything short of a nuclear bomb would probably not do much. A nuclear bomb would probably disrupt it, but at the same time would cause far more damage than the tornado itself could.
It can't go any where it can travel in an aeroplane.
No. A lahar carries far less power than a nuclear bomb. However, large explosive eruptions, which can lead to lahars, can be as strong as or stronger than a nuclear explosion.
A hydrogen bomb is, by far, the most destructive weapon that mankind has ever invented. It is the most powerful type of nuclear bomb.

The radiation LD50 of most insects is far higher than the LD50 of mammals.
That would depend on the bomb(s). FEMA estimates that in a reasonably anticipated nuclear missile exchange fallout from missiles attacking our silos in Montana could have a lethal plume extending as far east as Ohio. And that is only considering attacks on Montana. Missiles will undoubtedly attack in all states. You can check FEMA's website for the complete fallout projections map.
Drop wHeel on bomb to far right first then bomb on right side of board should be complete after that...¡
