which bomb creates more damage or are they the same?? a nuclear bomb or a nuclear missile?

Answer 1

It would depend on air burst or ground detonation, terrain, urban density, ground type, weather conditions, and so on, As mentioned above, the delivery method doesn't matter. the effects of any detonation include

Primary shockwave
Thermal Radiation Effects
Direct Nuclear Radiation Effects
Radioactive Fallout
Electromagnetic Pulse

Blast Wave overpressure of a 100 meg detonation the size of Tzarrina megabomb:
30 psi: 5.64 miles
10 psi: 10.35 miles
4 psi: 18.13 miles
2 psi: 26.71 miles
0.5 psi: 68.52 miles
0.2 psi: 140.36 miles

Key to the Damage:
15 psi Complete destruction of reinforced concrete structures, such as skyscrapers, will occur within this ring. Between 7 psi and 15 psi, there will be severe to total damage to these types of structures.
5 psi Complete destruction of ordinary houses, and moderate to severe damage to reinforced concrete structures, will occur within this ring.
2 psi Severe damage to ordinary houses, and light to moderate damage to reinforced concrete structures, will occur within this ring.
1 psi Light damage to all structures, and light to moderate damage to ordinary houses, will occur within this ring.
0.25 psi Most glass surfaces, such as windows, will shatter within this ring, some with enough force to cause injury.

I didn't calc. thermal radiation effects, fallout or EMP damage, but suffice it to say, i'd predict global impact winter....

Answer 2

A nuclear missile is just a way to get a nuclear bomb to a distant location.

Answer 3

most nuclear warheads are designed to explode above the target for maximum damage so a missile would make just as much damage as a bomb with the same sized warhead.

Answer 4

They both work on the same principle/ the bomb is dropped from an aircraft and in most cases is air burst for max damage and a missile flys itself to the target and explodes in the air as well, but there are different strengths of nuclear explosions from kilo-tons to mega-tons a kilo-ton is equal to the destructive force of 1000 tons of TNT.

Answer 5

a missile because some carry ten or more warhead on them and a nuclear bomb is only one bomb - those warheads can all go onto one target if necessary
