It is difficult to provide an exact number as the use of nuclear weapons would have catastrophic global consequences, potentially leading to nuclear winter and widespread devastation. It is imperative to prevent the use of such weapons to protect life on Earth.
As stated, the question is overly obvious; the world can be destroyed only once because once it is destroyed, there is nothing left to be destroyed, right? How many times could the same ceramic dish be shattered? More than once, but only if you are willing to glue it together again, and if the whole world were to be shattered, there would be no one left to glue it together again (unless you are expecting aliens from outer space to take an interest). However, you might have been thinking of the principle of overkill, that the nuclear arsenals of the world contain more weapons than would be needed to destroy the entire world. At a rough guess, the total inventory of nuclear weapons in the world is sufficient to destroy a dozen worlds at least (if we had a means of getting to other worlds, of course). But the Earth can be destroyed only once.
Modern nuclear weapons have such tremendous destructive capabilities that the existing arsenals could easily destroy all cities, all human life, and possibly all other life on Earth as well, as a result of the high level of radioactivity which would follow the actual explosions.
No, underground nuclear tests cannot alter the Earth's axial tilt. The axial tilt of Earth is determined by gravitational interactions with other celestial bodies and is not influenced by nuclear tests.
It's difficult to predict the exact outcome, but it's estimated that several times more nuclear weapons than exist today could lead to a complete global catastrophe, potentially resulting in the destruction of the earth multiple times over. The scale of devastation from such an event would be catastrophic and have long-lasting consequences for life on our planet.
No, nuclear weapons do not have the capability to destroy the entire Earth. While they have devastating power and can cause widespread destruction, they are not capable of wiping out the entire planet.
Yes they are very effective. Nuclear weapons are dangerous and really effective to destroy all life on earth. They are very powerful.

The US nuclear weapons arsenal is powerful enough to destroy the Earth multiple times over. The exact number of times would depend on the specific yield of each warhead and the total number of warheads available.
No. Nukes are nuclear weapons but they suppose to use nukes to protect the earth not to destroy the earth. Eventually, nukes are not the best idea to use against other countries. We all know that nukes can win war but you should not use them.
Your questions asks for an opinion. My opinion is no. The knowledge of how to build a nuclear weapon is out there. There are too many people with different views and values for nuclear weapons to just go away.
The most destructive weapon on earth is the hydrogen bomb. These weapons are potentially thousands of times more powerful than ordinary atom bombs (which use nuclear fission rather than fusion) and could easily destroy a city in seconds.
In the short term, say, the next 100 years, we should worry much more about nuclear weapons. It is possible, but not very likely, that an asteroid will destroy mankind, or even cause serious damage, in the next 100 years.
Roosevelt was a bit too open about the general concept of the atomic bomb. Stalin took in everything he heard and soon Russia or the Soviet Union had nuclear weapons also, making the US and the Soviet Union the two big world superpowers, with stockpiles of nuclear weapons that could destroy the Earth. I'm sure the Soviet Union believed at the time that since they were developing their own nuclear weapons, they weren't all that alarmed. To this day, after the Soviet Union crumbled, no one knows where some warheads have gone. It was easy for a terrorist to snatch a nuclear bomb or two from the unguarded Soviet stockpiles abandoned when the Soviet Union became no more.
not worth thinking about , a nuclear war would in itself be a chain reaction causing humanitys elimination . the earth cannot be destroyed but we can .
It may take a thousand of tons on TNT to pack a nuclear bomb. But to destroy the earth, it may take billions to trillions tons of TNT plus a nuclear igniter to blow the earth to bits of dust.
One Modern weapon that the USA has is the nuclear bomb. Also known as the atom bomb. The USA also has a large missile that can go any place on Earth and can cause major damage.
