Less than the total number in existence right now ! Countries around the planet have enough nuclear warheads to destroy every living thing on earth many times over !

What would happen if the sun never existed?
there would be no life on earth because the sun supports life on earth and gives warmth to the living creatures in earth. if the sun was gone, earth would be totally dark and there would be no life there.
How is the sun linked to nuclear energy?
The sun, like all stars, gets its energy from nuclear fusion. The Earth is only habitable for life because of the sun's radiant energy which reaches us. So we all depend on nuclear energy.
Life other than that on earth would be called?
Extraterrestrial life.
Would the atmospheres on the 4 largest planets support earth type life forms?
No. superplanets have high gravity which would crush earth type lifeforms. They may have life which is unlike any on earth.
What would happen if there was no atmosphere on earth?
they would not be able to sustain human life.
Why is nuclear fusion important to life on earth?
Life on Earth gets its energy from the Sun, which produces the energy through nuclear fusion.
What was the potential danger of the Cuban missile crisis?
A nuclear war, which would result in a nuclear winter and the end of most if not all of life on Earth.
How has nuclear fusion always warmed Earth from the outside?
Ever since the earth formed and the sun burst into light, the sun's light, which is created from nuclear fusion on our local star, has warmed the earth from the outside. Sunlight is directly responsible for the continuation of life on earth. If the sun suddenly went dark, most life on earth would die, and the rest would freeze solid in a ball of ice.
What type of nuclear energy is more important for life on earth?
Nuclear fusion in the sun
How does nuclear fusion help the world?
We get most of our energy from the Sun; there, the energy is converted by nuclear fusion.On the other hand, technology is not yet ready to carry out nuclear fusion on our own, right here on Earth - except for some experiments.
Which type of nuclear reaction is more important for life on earth?
1.The sun is a huge ball of nuclear fusion. 2.We here on earth use nuclear fission to produce electricity. so the answer is 2.
What is a nuke made of?
Nuke is slang for nuclear weapons. Nuclear weapons are nuclear warheads mounted on missiles for neighbourhood ( 200km to 1000km) or intercontinental delivery(>5000km as in case of icbm).Nuclear warhead consist of nuclear bomb. Fissonable plutonium is used as explosive. An uncontrolled fisson chain reaction catalysed by neutrons release so much heat and radiation that it can clean many sq kms of life.
What would happen if if the president unleashed all the nuclear weapons with his suitcase?
We would probably all die. Most life on Earth would die, if not from the radiation, from the toxic dust cloud that would from in the atmosphere of the Earth, mostly blocking the sun's rays.
How do nuclear weapons relate to your community?
There is a large Minuteman silo complex near where I live. Any serious attack would involve hundreds of warheads on that site throwing up enough fallout to make the area I live in devoid of life for decades and risky to enter for about 200 years.
Is using nuclear energy helping the earth?
The only answer to this question may be answered in the next thousands of years. The earth does not function in decades, or millennia. It survives billions of years. Most nuclear episodes have a half life that are that equal multiple human life spans, but have repercussions over multiple earth organism life spans.
Are nuclear weapons effective?
Yes they are very effective. Nuclear weapons are dangerous and really effective to destroy all life on earth. They are very powerful.
What would happen if the US attacked soviet union?
They would be a Nuclear War, the nuclear fallout would last for a half life of up to 500 years and the world would become no longer suitible to contain life.
