I have seen them as small as 11 inch diameter spheres, 6 inch by 20 inch artillery shells, 6 inch by 32 inch conical ICBM MIRV warheads, to as large as 5 foot diameter by 18 foot long gravity bombs. The first fusion bomb, the 1952 Ivy Mike device was 20 feet in diameter and 80 feet tall with 2 foot thick steel walls (this is the physically largest ever built).
How big/small do you want one? The size is usually limited by the capability of the delivery vehicle used.
What else can I help you with?
What is the difference in a nuclear power plant and a nuclear bomb?
A nuclear power plant uses a slow, controlled nuclear chain reaction to heat water and generate electricity. A nuclear bomb uses a very rapid uncontrolled nuclear chain reaction in order to generate a massive explosion.
Is the bomb little boy a fission or fusion reaction?
The "Little Boy" bomb used in the Hiroshima bombing was a fission bomb, specifically a gun-type uranium-235 bomb. It relied on the nuclear fission of uranium-235 to release a massive amount of energy.
Is the nuke bomb the biggest bomb?
No, a nuclear bomb is not the biggest bomb. The largest conventional bomb in terms of explosive yield is the MOAB (Massive Ordnance Air Blast), also known as the "Mother of All Bombs." It is a non-nuclear bomb developed by the United States.
Which bomb is more dangerous a nuclear bomb or an atomic bomb?
A nuclear bomb and an atomic bomb are virtually synonymous. The two terms are both used to refer to a nuclear weapon. Even Wikipedia agrees. The use of either term as a search argument redirects the answer to the article Nuclear Weapon. A link is provided. from benjaminmarkiewicz that dont make any sense a nuclear bombs blow travels 100s of miles and is more powerful cause its the newly invented bomb and the atomic bombs blow travel is under a nuclear bombs travel rate
What is a nucliar bombs?
Nuclear bombs are powerful explosives that release energy through nuclear reactions. They work by splitting atoms in a process known as fission, which creates a massive release of energy. The impact of a nuclear bomb can cause widespread destruction and loss of life.
Bomb created by splitting atoms?
A nuclear bomb is created by splitting atoms through a process called nuclear fission. This releases a massive amount of energy in the form of a nuclear explosion.
Does the US military have a nuclear bomb?
they have nuclear missiles. and they have many powerful explosives. and yes massive bombs.
What are negative effects of Nuclear bomb?
Long Term effects due to radiation Massive Damage to buildings Radioactive area where the bomb exploded
What is inside of a nuclear bomb?
A nuclear bomb typically contains fissile material such as enriched uranium or plutonium. When detonated, a chain reaction causes rapid nuclear fission, releasing a massive amount of energy in the form of heat, blast, and radiation.

What does a atomic bomb do?
An atomic bomb is a powerful explosive weapon that derives its destructive force from nuclear reactions. When detonated, it releases a massive amount of energy in the form of a nuclear explosion, causing widespread devastation and destruction in its blast radius.
What is nuclear bomb explosion?
Sudden release (in a few microseconds) of excess nuclear binding energy. This can come from either very massive elements (fission) and/or very light elements (fusion).
What would happen if you exploded a powerful bomb in the center of a large tornado?
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.
What is the difference between nuclear bomb and plutonium bomb?
A nuclear bomb is any bomb with any nuclear or atomic material inside it, while a plutonium bomb is a specific type of nuclear bomb. Plutonium could be the nuclear material inside the bomb, and if it is, it's a plutonium bomb.
