🔥The glow time of a nuclear fireball is an important factor in determining the level of fallout.
💥In outer space, nuclear detonations would not produce a shock wave or a long glow time.
🚀Detonating a nuclear weapon in outer space would vaporize the weapon and cool rapidly.
🌊Underwater nuclear detonations do not create shock waves above the surface.
🌫️Nuclear explosions underground or deep underwater may not produce a visible cloud or water spout.
Are the shock waves from nuclear explosions in movies accurate?
—No, shock waves in movies are often portrayed inaccurately, with exaggerated impact and visuals.
Do nuclear detonations in outer space produce shock waves?
—No, shock waves only occur when there is a disturbance moving through a medium, and there is no medium in outer space.
What happens when a nuclear bomb is detonated underwater?
—Underwater nuclear detonations create underwater shock waves and can cause damage to nearby objects, but they do not produce shock waves above the surface.
Do nuclear explosions underground or deep underwater produce visible clouds or water spouts?
—No, underground or deep underwater nuclear explosions may not produce visible clouds or water spouts.
Are nuclear explosions in outer space realistic?
—No, nuclear detonations in outer space would vaporize the weapon and cool rapidly, without producing shock waves or long glow times.
