How much energy would it take to destroy a planet?

Easy! When Manley runs the particulars of Earth through this equation, he figures out that it’d take about 2.25 x 1032 joules, or 225 million trillion trillion joules. For much larger planets such as Jupiter, you’re going to need about 2 x 1036 joules, which means 2 trillion trillion trillion joules of energy.

How much energy does it take to destroy the universe?

Conclusion. Energy required to destroy the observable universe: Low end: 1.149×1078 Joules. High end: 7.11×1092 Joules.

How many joules does it take to destroy a solar system?

Now, 2.24 x 10^32 Joules would blow it to tiny pieces which would go off to “infinity”, never re-forming. OTOH you’d probably call it “destroyed” if we merely blew off the crust.

What enough to destroy the world is?

What do you think would be enough to destroy the world? Can Fire and Ice contribute to it? Answer: Our desires and hatred would be enough to destroy the world. According to the poet, `fire’ represents ‘desire’ and `ice’ represents `hatred’.

How much energy do you need to destroy a galaxy?

Our Sun, for reference, has a mass of 2*1030 kg, so he’d need the equivalent of 280 Suns to destroy an entire (small) galaxy.

How much TNT does it take to destroy a solar system?

(In reality, if we had totalled the last column, the result would be pretty much the same as the energy needed to destroy only Neptune.) As you can see, it’s 5.09×1037 tons of TNT….Message:

Body	Sun
Mass	2.00E+33
Radius	6.96E+10
Raw energy for explosion	2.30E+48

How much TNT would it take to destroy the solar system?

Hint: it’s a lot. To completely vaporise the Sun you need to overcome something called its gravitational binding energy. To do that would require a lump of TNT larger than the Sun, roughly 6 x 1034 tons (60 billion, trillion, trillion tons!).

How much joules of energy does the sun have?

The sun’s luminosity is about 3.8 x 1026 Joules a second. In terms of mass, you can think of the total energy output as about 4,000,000 tons every second. When the curvature of the Earth and the density of the luminosity that hits our planet is considered, we receive only about 4.5 pounds per second of that energy.

What would it take to destroy the sun?

In fact, since you’ve got the power to magically replace stellar cores, you would only need to replace the Sun’s core with carbon or oxygen to kill it. It actually doesn’t have enough mass to fuse even carbon. As soon as you replaced the Sun’s core, it would shut off fusion.

How much energy would it take to destroy the Earth?

So to destroy earth, either we could have a bomb yielding more than 2×10^32 Joules of energy or we could deploy a number of them. A one megaton nuke is equivalent of 4.18 x 10^15 joules of energy. However, it should be noted about 85\% is released as blast energy (shock wave and thermal energy) and test 15\% as radiation.

What is the kinetic energy of the Earth’s debris?

This kinetic energy is a function of m, the total mass of the planet, and the average velocity ( v) at which the pieces are traveling: Using the mass of the Earth and the lower estimate of debris speed, 0.5 million m/s, I get an energy of 7.465 x 10 35 joules.

How much energy does it take to melt the Earth’s crust?

7.0 × 10 27 J, 2 Et: Energy required to vaporize all the oceans of Terra and dehydrate the crust 2.9 × 10 28 J, 7 Et: Energy required to melt the (dry) crust of Terra

How many shots does it take to destroy a planet?

A planetary bombardment scene occured where 17 shots was stated to have destroyed 30\% of a planet’s crust. Now obviously that’s a HUGE amount of firepower, but it’s not unrealistic for Star Trek as since the pilot episode of the original series they stated they had enough firepower to blast a continent.
