This picture is showing the devastating effects of the Tsar bomb on the Novaya Zemlya Island. It completely destroyed 40 around from the point which it was detonated and also it affected 20 more miles around causing severe destructions which in total we can say that it affected 60 miles of the area in which this bomb was detonated.
In this Picture we can compare the last man made bomb (Tsar bomb) with the rest of all bombs. We can see that the Hiroshima bomb that destroyed almost everything of that city is just an small portion of the destructive power of the Tsar bomb. Although we need to take in mind that the Tsar bomb is an old bomb that was builted from the soviet union which means that nowadays people can build bombs with a destructive power much stronger than this bomb. If they do this and a conflict starts and we this countries decide to launch their nuclear missiles to another countries; this will mean the end of our world because of all the radiation that it is going to cause and although all the places are going to turn inhabitable by any kind of living thing by the radiation.
This picture shows the area that the Tsar bomb would affect divided by 40 which means that 50MT (megatons) divided by 40 and turned into kiltons is 1205 KT of destructive nuclear power over lima. (Imagine this with 50,000 KT of destructive power over lima which is the real destructive power of the bomb) |
