The United States detonates the world’s first thermonuclear weapon, the hydrogen bomb, on Eniwetok atoll in the Pacific. The test gave the United States a short-lived advantage in the nuclear arms race with the Soviet Union.

The Joint Chiefs made the case to Truman that the hydrogen bomb “would improve our defense in its broadest sense, as a potential offensive weapon, a possible deterrent to war, a potential retaliatory weapon, as well as a defensive weapon against enemy forces.”

U.S. President Harry S. Truman publicly announces his decision to support the development of the hydrogen bomb, a weapon theorized to be hundreds of times more powerful than the atomic bombs dropped on Japan during World War II.

The Sun is a main-sequence star, and, as such, generates its energy by nuclear fusion of hydrogen nuclei into helium. In its core, the Sun fuses 620 million metric tons of hydrogen and makes 616 million metric tons of helium each second.

Nothing! Since our nukes are insignificant against Sun’s energy. Although we would be providing more fuel since Sun is a giagantic fusion reactor. Our nukes will provide hydrogen if its a fusion bomb or uranium if its a fission bomb which our Sun would consume in fraction of milliseconds.

To put this into a crazy context, every second the sun produces the same energy as about a trillion 1 megaton bombs! In one second, our sun produces enough energy for almost 500,000 years of the current needs of our so-called civilization.

Thermal Radiation Initially, most of this energy goes into heating the bomb materials and the air in the vicinity of the blast. Temperatures of a nuclear explosion reach those in the interior of the sun, about 100,000,000° Celsius, and produce a brilliant fireball.

The dead star at the center of the Red Spider Nebula has a surface temperature of 250,000 degrees F, which is 25 times the temperature of the Sun’s surface. This white dwarf may, indeed, be the hottest object in the universe.

yes superman can withstand nuclear bombs, in the movie batman vs superman he was hit by a nuclear bomb and he survived it. the only damage was cause is that his little skin was gone and after a minute he heal it back.

The only problem is the Radiation that comes out of those bombs. Goku can die from a heart disease, so why not radiation. So if we talk the blast then yes. If we talk long term like 1 year, they would die from being exposed to the radiation of a nuclear bomb.

The Kamehameha even changing direction is slow. While Superman Heat Vision is already naturally light speed and faster. He can even use his Heat Vision to heal or stimulate cellular growth. It’s an attack that can be used on a cosmic scale or even on a subatomic scale.

Yes, The Hulk can survive a nuclear blast at ground zero. In fact, nuke & gamma bombs and the like are used against him quite often.

From what we now know (as of 6/5/2020, two years after Avengers: Infinity War came out), Thor could definitely survive the nuking of New York. He not only survived having the refugee ship Statesman blown up around him, he came out of it hale enough to take the Guardians’ escape pod to Nidavellir.

Ghost Rider is the host for Zarathos, an awesomely powerful vengeance demon from Hell. Dubbed a lesser demon (I would hate to see a greater demon!) he is blessed with magical invulnerability to all damage. Magic in Marvel completely defies physics, so he cannot be killed by a nuclear detonation.
