It is impossible to accurately estimate the number of nuclear bombs it would take to completely destroy Earth as the amount would be so vast that it is beyond comprehension. Using nuclear bombs to destroy Earth would also have catastrophic consequences for all life on the planet.
It is currently impossible to blow up the Earth using nuclear weapons as the planet is too large and the energy required would be immense. Additionally, detonating a large number of nuclear weapons on Earth could have catastrophic consequences for all life on the planet.
The leaves would likely blow towards the southwest.
It would require an immense amount of uranium, far beyond what is accessible on Earth, to detonate the planet. The idea of destroying Earth with uranium or any other material is simply not feasible with current technology.
