How many nukes world it take to blow the world up??

Answer 1

"blow the world up" as into tiny pieces? Consider this, the comet Shoemake-Levy hit Jupitor in 1994 with the force of energy equivalent to 6,000,000 megatons of TNT (750 times the world's nuclear arsenal). That amount of energy did not blow up Jupitor. The plume and fireball, however, were earth-sized. The nuclear arsenals, together, do not have enough energy to 'blow up" the earth into tiny pieces.

If you ask, how many nukes will it take to cause a nuclear winter, Carl Sagan estimated that the threshold was very low....only a mere 100megatons...mostly from the fires that it would cause. Others say it would take a 10,000MT scenario to cause a worldwide environmental catastrophe. Assuming the high end, that would equal 20 strategic nukes in the 500 kiloton range. Assuming Sagan's low threshold, that would equate to 2 strategic nukes in the 500k range.

Answer 2

It depends on the size of the nuke and what type of nuke, it would take like 5 of the ones the US uses

Answer 3

level 4 on your microwave
