really best and funny question...
you cant break Mars into pieces with an atomic bomb; very very huge bomb is needed, i think :) and if this huge bomb explode in the world by an accident, yes, it will totally kill us. so nobody who has an intelligence, risks such an activity :))

Atomic bombs hit two Japan cities on August 6th and 9th 1945. They did not kill people in the USA (would Truman have ordered the attack if that was a possible outcome?).
They did not kill people in China,
They did not even kill people in Tokyo,
Look at a map and see how far it is from Nagasaki or Hiroshima to Tokyo.
And compare that to the minimum distance by which Mars ever is from the earth (36 million miles on 27 August 2003) and the whole concept is laughable.

I doubt it. Mars is somewhere between 30-70 million miles way (conservative estimate). The blast radius of an atomic blast is somewhere between 3-5 miles. So, short answer, no. But it depends on how long it takes for atomic energy to decay.

Hey Jon...
If an atomic bomb was to somehow hit Mars, it would have no effect on Earth at all.

If an atomic bomb hit the otherside of the Earth from where you live it would'nt kill you so one hitting a planet millions of miles away is'nt going to do you any harm!

No. Even the most powerful warheads we have can't destroy the earth. Well, OK, if they were all set off at once, they could; but individual bombs, no. A nuclear explosion on Mars would absolutely no effect on earth.

Not at all. Meteorites impact with a force many times more powerful than nuclear weapons. In fact the existence of other planets with greater gravity (most notably Jupiter) taking in many of these meteorites is part of the reason Earth can support life.

Nope fraid not. 1. too far away 2. one atomic device would not release enough energy to effect Earth.

And why would it? Mars is many many millions of miles away.
Atomic bombs, even the biggest, destroy things for "only" a few hundred or thousand miles.

He's pulling your leg. There's things that hit mars already that release more more devistation than one of our home made devices, and we dont find out about it untill weeks after when we take photo's.
