It depends on the size of the bomb. Also, are you asking what the blast radius is? If so, the design of atomic weapons has advanced greatly. The explosive yields now available range from less than a kiloton to many tens of kilotons. The relative importance of the effects of weapon explosions depend on yield. For explosions larger than 20 kilotons the radius of hazardous effects would be larger than for a 20-kiloton weapon, of course, but the range of thermal hazard would exceed that for blast, and the range of blast damage in turn would considerably exceed that for nuclear radiation injury. For explosions smaller than 20 kilotons, this order would be reversed, with nuclear radiation reaching out farther than blast, and thermal radiation still more limited.

Um, well i don't any scientific stuff or anything but i do know that a hydrogen bomb can kick up 1,000,000 tons of TNT ( or i think 1 megaton ) and an atomic can do about 17000 tons. I am not pefectly sure now but i know its around that. Also, yes a bomb can very depending on its size, the way it's made and the place it gets blown up in. I think what i said would just be an average. Also, if you are very interested in bombs look up tsar bomb. It is the strongest bomb, ( 57,000,000 tons of TNT or 57 megatons). Look it up if you wan't don't if you don't. ¬_¬
