What happens if we nuke the moon?
What happens if we nuke the moon?
The explosion would also likely create a shotgun-like blast of moon debris, as lower gravity makes it easier for moon rocks and dust to easily escape the moon’s gravity. This would be ejected into space, but also strike Earth, creating micrometeor showers visible in the night sky.
What would happen if 2 nukes collided?
Most likely they would collide, the fuel would explode, but the warheads would not detonate and they would both fall to the surface. If this doesn’t happen exactly, the warhead doesn’t explode. That’s why there have been several accidents, with none of the warheads the vehicles were carrying having detonated.
What would happen if we dropped a nuke in the Mariana Trench?
What would happen if you detonated a nuclear bomb in the Mariana Trench? Much wittier than what I was going to say, but in the same regards. Basically a Nuclear bomb would go off and some life would be disrupted. Perhaps depending on how close it was to the sea floor, a crater would also form.
What would happen if we nuked the Mariana Trench?
The report outlines how when a nuclear weapon goes off underwater, it produces a cavity of hot gasses, which then collapses. If the explosion happens near the surface, it can create some pretty big waves—under some circumstances, they can be hundreds of feet high near ground zero.
What would happen if NYC was nuked?
Originally Answered: What would happen if a nuclear weapon detonated in New York City? First off the implosion would take out the entire Island of Manhattan. The shock wave would probably cause a tsunami and most of the boroughs would be flooded. Then due to NYC would be covered in a mushroom cloud of radiation.
How many people would die if New York City was nuked?
264,000 people
How long would it take for a nuclear winter to end?
Surface temperatures would be reduced for more than 25 years, due to thermal inertia and albedo effects in the ocean and expanded sea ice. The combined cooling and enhanced UV would put significant pressures on global food supplies and could trigger a global nuclear famine.
