It's 1000x more powerful than a atom bomb read this it explains it well https://time.com/4954082/hydrogen-bomb-atomic-bomb/
An atomic bomb uses either uranium or plutonium and relies on fission, a nuclear reaction in which a nucleus or an atom breaks apart into two pieces. To make a hydrogen bomb, one would still need uranium or plutonium as well as two other isotopes of hydrogen, called deuterium and tritium. The hydrogen bomb relies on fusion, the process of taking two separate atoms and putting them together to form a third atom. the hydrogen that a hydrogen bomb uses is also called heavy water which is in canada that america bought in large amounts for the hydrogen bombs
the atom bomb is 10000 kilotons of tnt
the hydrogen bomb goes to megatons of tnt in power
which could leave nothing of new york for example all just one big crater while the country side also gets scorched
Thank you, I got mega confused not so long ago thinking "a hydrogen bomb isn't so bad" because I just thought it would do the same damage as the hydrogen blimp. I was wrong. Thanks again.
