Rough estimates are about 12-14 kilotons of TNT, which is 50,208,000,000 to 58,576,000,000 kilojoule. A joule is the energy exerted by the force of one newton acting to move an object through a distance of one meter. A newton is the unit of force derived in the SI system, which is the International System of Units(abbreviated SI from the French le Système international d'unités.
And if you want a different conversion the energy given of had about 37,031,521,711,000 to 43,203,441,996 000 foot pounds of force
Chaotic conditions made accurate accounts most difficult. Some victims were vaporized instantly, many survivors were horribly disfigured, and death from radiation was uncertain-it might not claim its victims for days, weeks, months, or even years.
The initial death count in Hiroshima, set at 42,000-93,000, was based solely on the disposal of bodies, and was thus much too low. Later surveys covered body counts, missing persons, and neighborhood surveys during the first months after the bombing, yielding a more reliable estimate of 130,000 dead as of November 1945. A similar survey by officials in Nagasaki set its death toll at 60,000-70,000. (Its plutonium bomb was more powerful, but its destructive range was limited by surrounding hills and mountains).
Additional counts indicated high levels of short-term mortality in both cities:
-Over 90% of persons within 500 meters (1,600 ft.) of ground zero in both cities died.
-At 1.5 km (almost one mile), over 2/3 were casualties, and 1/3 died.
-Of those at a distance of 2 km (1.2 mi.), half were casualties, 10% of whom died.
-Casualties dropped to 10% at distances over 4 km (2.4 mi.)

The equivalent of about 12,500 tons of TNT was released in the first few atom bomb releases.
18.6 kilotons for Gadget at Trinity test site
12.5 - 16 kilotons for Little Boy on Hiroshima
Around 20 kilotons.
An atomic bomb puts out many kinds of energy: Heat Light Radio waves Electrical And as these energies move outward, they in turn trigger many other types of energy.
we were feared of due to the technology of the atom bomb.
The atom bomb Fat Man was dropped on Hiroshima. The atom bomb Little Boy was dropped on Nagasaki, Japan.
the usa was the first to develop the atom bomb thanks to albert Einstein
The A-Bomb and Atom Bomb, those are cool to say.
Atomic bomb is a very danger bomb. IT emits the nucleus energy.
Well, the technical explanation is very complicated, so I will make it more simple: there are the fission bomb, and the thermonuclear bomb. The fission bomb makes an explosion through the splitting of atom. Atom is the smallest measurement. There are neutrons and photons in a atom. But when you split the atom to make a big explosion, you do not use any atom. We usually use an atom of uranium-235. When the uranium atom is split, the normal amount of neutrons or photons does not come out. Then the neutrons release lots of energy! (Very simple explanation: A fission bomb is a bomb that uses energy from splitting uncontrolled atoms. And a thermonuclear bomb is just opposite to fission bomb, it gets energy from fusion of atoms to make a heavier one.
cause the atomic bomb was suposed to destroy the japanise and end the war.
It gets its energy from the atomic nucleus.
The term atom bomb (or atomic bomb) usually refers to a bomb that obtains its energy solely through the process of nuclear fission.However technically the term is considered interchangeable with nuclear bomb, and can refer to any bomb obtaining its energy through either nuclear fission, nuclear fusion, or any combination of the two processes.

An atom is not a bomb.
an atom bomb is uncontrolled and the reaction is over in a few microsecondsa reactor is controlled and the reaction can continueuninterrupted for years or longer
It depends on how much atoms/weight it has
Yes, radioactive decay results in the release of nuclear energy. The radioactive decay of an atom is the result of changes in the atom's nucleus, so energy released will be nuclear energy by definition.
They split the atoms which causes a great release of energy.
Firstly to make the atom bomb in WW2. After that to make electricity
