The Tsar Bomba, the largest nuclear bomb ever detonated, was tested by the Soviet Union on October 30, 1961. It had a yield of approximately 50 megatons and was detonated above the Arctic Circle.
The largest atomic bomb ever built, or detonated, was the Tsar Bomb (????-?????) RDS-220 code named "Ivan" by the Soviet Union. Originally built as a 100 MegaTon (100,000,000 ton) three stage Hydrogen bomb, it was changed to 50 MegaTon to limit fallout. Detonated on October 30th, 1961. Caveat: This information is based upon public information and releases, if there is a larger bomb it was never disclosed to the public in any fasion.
It is not , if it is not detonated and it is properly maintained.
The bomb dropped Hiroshima detonated in mid air above a bank in central Hiroshima.
Those were the one that were in the ground zero area. The bomb detonated 2,000 feet in the air above them.
During the Cold War, Russia created the "Czar" - a nuclear weapon named Царь-бомба in Russian ("Tsar' Bomba" - Czar Bomb). Detonated in Siberia, Russia, it became the largest bomb ever detonated. The blast yield was equivalent to 50 megatons of TNT, which was actually reduced from 100 megatons to reduce the fallout from the explosion.

The 50 Megaton "Tsar Bomba" hydrogen bomb tested by the USSR in 1961 is the strongest hydrogen bomb ever detonated. The 10 Megaton "Ivy Mike" hydrogen bomb tested by the U.S. in 1952 is the physically largest hydrogen bomb ever detonated.
The largest most powerful bomb detonated in human history is theTsar-Bomb or AN602. It was detonated by the Soviet Union and was worth 100 megatons of TNT. Only one was ever made. The explosion would have been much larger if the bomb wasn't attached to a parachute so the plane could get away on time. It was 10x bigger the both bomb dropped on Japan. It has never been used in war. The bomb weighed a total of 27 tons.
The largest megaton bomb ever detonated was the Soviet Union's Tsar Bomba in 1961, with a yield of about 50 megatons. It was the most powerful nuclear weapon ever created and tested.

The first atomic bomb detonated was not dropped, it was hung from the top of a steel structure and detonated remotely.
The Russian atomic bomb was developed under the direction of Soviet physicist Igor Kurchatov. The Soviet atomic bomb project was carried out in top secret and successfully detonated its first nuclear device in 1949, making the Soviet Union the second country to possess nuclear weapons.
A dirty nuclear bomb is detonated by using a conventional explosive. It disperses a large amount of nuclear material across the area.
