It is difficult to determine an exact number of nuclear warheads needed to end all life on Earth as it would depend on various factors such as targeting and the size of the warheads. However, it is believed that even a small fraction of the world's nuclear arsenal could potentially cause catastrophic global consequences.
Yes, nuclear weapons have been tested in space by several countries during the Cold War era. These tests were conducted to study the effects of nuclear explosions in space and to assess the impact of such explosions on satellites and communication systems. However, the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty (CTBT) prohibits nuclear weapon tests in any environment, including space.
Stars are massive celestial objects that are millions of miles away from Earth. While meteorites and asteroids, which are pieces of space rock, can fall to Earth, stars do not land on our planet as they are far too large and distant.
The sun's diameter is about 109 times the diameter of Earth.
Jupiter is about 11 times the diameter of Earth and over 300 times more massive. It is the largest planet in our solar system.
It is estimated that Russia has enough nuclear weapons to destroy the Earth multiple times over. A nuclear war involving Russia's full arsenal could lead to catastrophic global consequences, including nuclear winter and widespread destruction.
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.
Surprisingly few ! The 'super powers' have enough nuclear weapons between them - to destroy humanity many times over !
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 .
Nuclear weapons are considered the most destructive weapons on Earth due to their ability to cause widespread destruction and loss of life. Their detonation can lead to catastrophic consequences including immediate devastation and long-term environmental impacts.
Well their are no disadvantages to nuclear plants, if your using them for nuclear power, as nuclear power is the safest type of energy in modern times. However disadvantages of nuclear weapons include well the ending of the planet, the possibility of it being stolen by terrorists or even it being spied on for another nation so it can create nuclear weapons.
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.
Nuclear weapons take their energy from the Strong Nuclear force that holds the atomic nucleus together.Conventional weapons take their energy from the Electromagnetic force that holds electrons in orbitals around the atomic nucleus.The Strong force is a couple thousand times stronger than the Electromagnetic force.
theoretically the yield of nuclear weapons is unlimited.
If a large number of nuclear weapons were detonated, the impacts could lead to widespread destruction and potentially render the planet uninhabitable. However, the exact number of times the world could be destroyed is not quantifiable as it would depend on various factors such as the yield of the explosions, the targets, and the aftermath of the attacks.
Nuclear weapons have been used in war twice- both times in 1945, when the US bombed the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
The way you can destroy the world with nukes is to combine 17 trillion times the world's nuclear power, send them off to the moon, and speed them up to 1500 MPS while orbiting, then set a course for Earth. In other words, impossible.To destroy the Earth, like really destroy it, you need a an object twice the size of mars, made of iron, to crash into the earth. This would effectivey shatter the crust, shoot the mantle out into space, and make the core a new, miniture planetoid without an atmosphere.Planting 30 nukes in every country around the world. BOOOOM!!
