Depends on the bomb, ranging from 100s of pounds to tons.

In the 1960s the US had fielded some tactical devices weighing about 50 pounds, but these were recalled in the early 1970s. The actual minimal weight that the US can build is classified Q-Top Secret.

How much did the nuclear bomb little boy weigh?

The Little Boy nuclear bomb weighed about 9,700 pounds (4,400 kg).


Which is more destructive a nuclear bomb or a hydrogen bomb?

A hydrogen bomb (thermonuclear bomb) is more destructive than a regular nuclear bomb (fission bomb). Hydrogen bombs release much larger amounts of energy and have the potential to create significantly more devastation and damage.


What is stronger atom bomb or nuke?

An atomic bomb is a nuclear weapon. A nuclear fusion bomb, (hydrogen, is usually much stronger than a nuclear fission bomb (uranium or plutonium). The weapons detonated in Japan during WWII measured about 15 kilotons equivalent of TNT. Today, most nuclear weapons are measured by megaton (1000X kiloton) equivalents up to a bomb built by the Russians with a possible yield of 100 megatons.


How much do nuclear bombs weigh?

The weight of a nuclear bomb depends on the bomb. Deliverable nuclear bombs have been built with weights as small as 50 pounds to as large as 30 tons. The first hydrogen bomb built (Ivy Mike test Sausage device) weighed 54 tons, but was never intended as a deliverable bomb (including the cryogenic equipment needed to keep its deuterium-tritium fusion fuel liquid the complete setup weighed 82 tons).


Is a hydrogen bomb a nuclear type of energy?

Yes, a hydrogen bomb, also known as a thermonuclear bomb, is a type of nuclear weapon that releases a huge amount of energy through nuclear fusion reactions. This energy release is much more powerful than that of a typical atomic bomb, which relies on nuclear fission reactions.

Is there a difference between an atomic bomb and a nuclear bomb?

There isn't much difference in these terms. Both refer to nuclear weapons, and they are general terms that can pretty much be used interchangeably.

How much does a nuclear bomb weigh?

The largest atomic bomb ever built, the Tsar-bomb (Царь-бомба) weighed 27 tonnes, The Soviet Union and the USA both developed "Tactical Nukes" dubbed "Suitcase Nukes." The USA's smallest version weighed 51 pounds (MK-54 SADM). The Soviet version's weight is not released information.


Where were the first nuclear bombs dropped?

A nuclear bomb has never been dropped. It was an atomic bomb that was dropped on the Japanese cities Hiroshima ans Nagasaki. An atomic bomb is a nuclear weapon. Nuclear bombs have much more impact than atomic bombs, and could potentially end the World if a nuclear war was started.
