Well to destroy the Earth and it's gravitational binds would take 7 Exatons of TNT, the Moon is roughly 25% of Earth's size. It's also not so simple, you have to take the planets and Moon mass into acount.

How much energy does a nova release?
Not to be confused with a supernova - [See related]In a few hundred days a nova pumps out as much energy as the sun does for more than a million years.The Little Boy atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima exploded with an energy of about 15 kilotons of TNT (~6 × 1013 joules)During the Cold War, the United States developed hydrogen bombs with a maximum theoretical yield of 25 megatons (~1015 Joules)A nova releases as much energy as the Sun emits in a million years or 1034 jouleswhich is about ten quintillion megatons of TNT (~1018 joules)So you'd need about 17,000 of the most powerful hydrogen bombs to equal a nova.
Does C4 have the same effect in outer space?
Notice that detonating explosives like TNT and C-4 DO NOT require oxygen or any other outside reagent, so they can explode under water or in outer space.
Why is the logarithmic scale used in science?
Is is used to keep track of very large or very small numbers. For instance pH of an acid refers to the -log of the H+ concentration. Each time pH increases by one the actual concentration increases by a factor of ten. Many time you are dealing with very small number such as 1.76 x 10-5. If you take the negative log of this number then you get a pH of about 4.75. Logs are also used in the Richter Scale, Stellar Brightness, and the Decibel scale for the same reasons. An earthquake with an intensity of 1 on the Richter scale has the approximate energy of 6oz of TNT. An earthquake with a magnitude of 8 is about the same amount of energy as 6 MILLION tons of TNT.
What was the biggest nuclear explosion?
The biggest nuclear explosion in history was a 50 megaton (equivalent to 50 million tons of tnt) bomb tested by the soviet union called the "Tsar Bomb". nobody was killed in the blast. the previous answer was completely false, Chernobyl was one of the smallest nuclear explosions in history, smaller than the Hiroshima bomb, which was only 17 kilotons (17 thousand tons of tnt, almost 3000 times smaller than the Tsar Bomb). People were mainly killed by the radiation. The blast didn't even kill everybody inside the actual plant (I'm not sure how many were killed in the blast, if somebody would like to add to this)
What damage would a baseball size meteor cause to earth?
If a baseball size meteor entered our atmosphere, it would get burned up and not hit the ground. Most meteors that strike the Earth hit at around 20 km/s, therefore if a baseball sized meteor actually hit the ground, it would release roughly 10^9 joules of energy. That's roughly equal to the energy released by the explosion of 1000 kg of TNT.
Can 600 megatons of TNT destroy the world?
Nope.
How many tnt to destroy the earth?
It may take a thousand of tons on TNT to pack a nuclear bomb. But to destroy the earth, it may take billions to trillions tons of TNT plus a nuclear igniter to blow the earth to bits of dust.
What could 500 tons of TNT destroy?
That is difficult to predict, but 500 tons of TNT is half a kiloton. Half a kiloton of TNT could probably flatten eight square blocks of a city - maybe more.
