That depends on yield, height/depth of burst, distance from burst, and amount and type of fallout at the location. Without knowing all these parameters and performing a complicated and approximate calculation, no estimates can be given.
The usable life span of a nuclear bomb depends on various factors such as the type of warhead, storage conditions, and maintenance. Typically, the components of a nuclear bomb can last for several decades, but regular maintenance and replacement of certain parts may be necessary to ensure their reliability.
Yes, a nuclear bomb produces radiation as a result of the nuclear fission or fusion reactions that release large amounts of energy. This radiation can have immediate and long-term harmful effects on living organisms and the environment.
The number of people killed by a nuclear bomb depends on various factors such as the size of the bomb, the distance from the blast, and the preparedness of the population. A single nuclear bomb has the potential to kill hundreds of thousands to millions of people instantly or through long-term effects like radiation exposure.
That is complicated:Depends on yield and height/depth of burst.Depends on several features of bomb design.Depends on halflives of radiological contaminants produced.Depends on decontamination effort attempted and degree of success.Depends on weather.
It is not possible to give a sensible answer to this question for a number of reasons. There is no standard nuclear bomb: the bomb that was dropped on Hiroshima (Little Boy) had a yield of less than 20,000 tons of TNT. In 1961 the USSR exploded a nuclear bomb (Tsar Bomba) with a yield of 50,000,000 tons of TNT. The damage that a nuclear device can deliver depends on the altitude at which it is detonated. Also, in addition to the immediate effect of the blast, there are long term effects from radioactive debris being blown into the upper atmosphere and coming down later.As an example of the latter, the explosion at the nuclear reactor at Chernobyl led to radioactive rainfall in the UK. Such effects will depend on prevailing winds and other weather conditions.

They're very destructive and last for a long time, In other words, once you've blown up a nuclear bomb somewhere, it will still be dangerous after the initial explosion has taken place. When a nuclear bomb is used there would be nuclear radiation that would still be present where the bomb hit for quite a while

A nuclear bomb causes immense destruction and loss of life due to the intense heat, blast wave, and radiation it produces. It can kill and injure thousands of people within seconds and have long-term health effects on survivors due to radiation exposure. The impact of a nuclear bomb can be devastating to both the immediate area and the environment.
A nuclear bomb can cause immediate death and severe injuries from the blast, heat, and radiation. Survivors may experience radiation sickness, burns, and long-term health effects such as cancer. The extent of damage depends on the bomb's size, proximity, and other factors.
No, a single nuclear bomb cannot destroy Earth's atmosphere. However, a large-scale nuclear war involving numerous bombs could have devastating effects on the atmosphere and potentially lead to long-term environmental consequences.
A nuclear bomb kills by releasing an intense burst of heat, light, and radiation that causes widespread damage to the surrounding area. The immediate effects include burns, blast injuries, and radiation exposure, while the long-term effects may include radiation sickness and increased risk of cancer due to exposure to radioactive fallout.
A nuclear bomb has the potential to cause massive destruction and loss of life through its explosive power and radiation effects. The blast creates a powerful shockwave and heat, causing widespread damage. The resulting radiation can also have long-term health consequences for those exposed.
