What would happen if the Tsar Bomba was dropped?

That’s interesting, but if enough Tsar Bombas were dropped into the Challenger Deep, there would be half-a-mile-high waves and a fracture that digs all the way to Earth’s mantle. The explosive force would throw rock and water nearly to the Karman line.

What would happen if a nuke went off in the atmosphere?

What would happen if a nuclear bomb went off in space? In a nuclear blast, there is also quite a bit of debris, which would burn up in the Earth’s upper atmosphere, and heavy ions would also be absorbed by the atmospheric molecules of the planet.

What would happen if all the nuclear weapons on the planet detonated at once?

But assuming every warhead had a megatonne rating, the energy released by their simultaneous detonation wouldn’t destroy the Earth. It would, however, make a crater around 10km across and 2km deep. The huge volume of debris injected into the atmosphere would have far more widespread effects.

Does Russia still have the Tsar?

“Emperor” remained the official title for subsequent Russian rulers, but they continued to be known as “tsars” in popular usage until the imperial regime was overthrown by the Russian Revolution of 1917. The last Russian tsar, Nicholas II, was executed by the Soviet government in 1918.

What were the chances of surviving the Tsar Bomba?

Despite the addition of reflective paint and the parachute, a 50/50 chance of survival was predicted for those on board. On October 30, 1961, Tsar Bomba was detonated in the atmosphere at 11:32 Moscow Time over the Mityushikha Bay Nuclear Testing Range in the northern Arctic Circle.

Where did the Tsar Bomba shatter windows?

Windows even shattered as far away as Norway and Finland due to atmospheric focusing of the shock wave. Despite being an air burst detonated 13,000 feet above ground, Tsar Bomba’s seismic magnitude was estimated at 5–5.25.

What is the largest nuclear bomb ever detonated?

Detonated by the Soviet Union on October 30, 1961, Tsar Bomba is the largest nuclear device ever detonated and the most powerful man-made explosion in history. With a yield of 50 megatons of TNT, Tsar Bomba was the culmination of a number of hydrogen bomb tests conducted throughout this time by both the Soviet Union and the United States.

What are the co-ordinates of the Russian nuclear bomb?
