how far, like in miles, does an atomic bomb has it effects?

well that is a difficult question... actually it depends on the bomb \nalso....\nand what exactly happens is the blast covers a qutie a good area... but along with the blast the hot gases released during and after the fission also causes devastation because the temprature of the gas molecules is very high...

I believe that what you really wanted to ask is; What's the difference between an atom bomb and a hydrogen bomb?  Atom bombs and hydrogen bombs are both considered nuclear weapons.  The atom bomb, or A-Bomb, derives its energy from nuclear fission, (large heavy atoms usually of plutonium breaking up into smaller light-weight atoms) while the hydrogen bomb, or H-Bomb, derives its energy from nuclear fusion, (small light-weight atoms usually tritium or deuterium combining into larger heavier atoms like helium).  Both have devastating long term consequences due to the radioactive fallout.

It's about the size of a suitcase!\nThey call it a suitcase nuke because it fits in a suitcase and it's about .300 kilotons, much much lighter and less powerful.

There are several different ways the bomb damages surroundings, depending on the distance from ground zero:\n\n1. Nearest the bomb explosion, severe heat vaporizes everything.\n2. Nuclear radiation moves out from the epicenter.\n3. Pressure shock-waves also move out from the epicenter, knocking down structures.\n4. Fallout comes down from the skies, coating everything.

The best way to answer is to give you a link: http://www.lpl.arizona.edu/impacteffects/. There you can enter size, speed, etc. and see the distance and impact of the blast wave.

Any nuclear bomb will create an electromagnetic pulse.  The size of the pulse radius will be approximately related to the blast radius.

depends on how big it is. here is a link that gives you how much damage that would be caused depending on its size, velocity, ect:\n\nhttp://www.lpl.arizona.edu/impacteffects/

see a minor distance creat such a difrnc, 10/10

It all depends on how long a block is, in our village the blocks are short, long and everything in between, app. one mile away in the semi country\na block can be 1/4 mile.\n\n\nBlubla

sound travels at about 580 miles per hour so if you travel at say 583 miles per hour then its supersonic, thats when you hear the boom on an aircraft as it breaking through the sound barrier

5 seconds per mile is close enough to determine the distance of the closest part of the lightning strike.  Not all of the strike is the same distance away from you, so you hear a drawn out roll of thunder as the sound from all of the strike reaches you over a period of some seconds.

If I'm not mistaken, we've tested a number of 20-megaton nukes before, and the fact that you're able to ask this question means that we've survived that first test. :-)  \n\nAs for how big of a nuke it would take to blow up Earth, a couple of issues you'll have to deal with first is what to do about all of the debris that will settle after the nuke goes off, because as it floats back down because of gravity, then gravity itself will hold down all of the matter upon Earth. As to what it would take to cause the most damage, I've gotten to thinking since the 2004 tsunami that if a well-placed nuke was right on major fault lines either in the ocean or possibly on land (like maybe on the New Madrid fault), the tectonic action resulting from the force of the nuclear blast would be much more destructive than the bomb itself, because the shifting of tectonic plates would then cause damage at a much greater radius from ground zero in the resulting earthquake than would just blast waves in an atmospheric explosion.\n\nMaybe that doesn't answer your question, but it's the best I can figure as I am neither a physicist nor a geologist. :-)

it depends on how far you let it go...

Ok, first of all the jet would stop working once you left atmosphere - but ignoring that for a moment and assuming you were in a craft capable of going 500mph:-\n\nWell at about 2.7 billion miles away, approximately 616 years.\n\n\n\n**update** Phew, so pleased to see that someone else concurred (+/-) 1 year, I suddenly thought I might have been out by a factor of 10 :)

The distance averages at 93,000,000 miles.  This distance is also known as an Astronomical Unit.
