The force of the explosion, the type of weapon, and the topography around all affect the atomic bomb's radius of destruction. Typically, the radius of an atomic bomb's destruction might be anything from a few hundred meters and several kilometers.

For instance, the Hiroshima atomic bomb unleashed on Japan in 1945 had a power of around 15 kilotons and destroyed nearly the whole city within a two-kilometer radius of the impact point. Comparable to the bomb dropped on Nagasaki, which had an impact one kilometer away and destroyed much of the city, the Nagasaki bomb had a power of roughly 20 kilotons.

The power of the bomb, the type of weapon, and the unique circumstances of the target area would all affect the atomic bomb's radius of destruction. For instance, the Russian Tsar Bomba, which had a TNT explosive output of 50 megatons, was the greatest nuclear weapon ever tested. It is crucial to remember that most countries have vowed not to use nuclear weapons, which is largely regarded as prohibited under international law. Also, the international community has tried to minimize the quantity of nuclear weapons owned by the main nations and to stop the proliferation of nuclear weapons through arms control agreements.
