- Russia, about 3100
- US, about 3000
- All other countries with nuclear weapons, less than 1000 total
There is no precise answer. America is supposed to have 5000 ready for use at any time, but there are entire nations who don't disclose complete numbers or don't admit nuclear capability for tactical reasons, so any number spat out for how many there are in the world is nieve and simply not based on the reality of the world's political situation. America for instance could have many more, or many less, as nobody is going to be gambling against them to find out by starting a nuclear war we'll probably never know. Enough to wipe out all life on this planet many times over, and that's just one nation. According to one scource, their are 23,300.

What is the different between a nuclear bomb and an atom bomb?
A nuclear bomb is a generic term for any explosive device that relies on nuclear reactions to produce a large amount of destructive force, while an atomic bomb specifically refers to a type of nuclear bomb that relies on nuclear fission reactions to release energy. Therefore, all atomic bombs are nuclear bombs, but not all nuclear bombs are atomic bombs.
Is there nuclear energy in nuclear bombs?
Yes, nuclear bombs utilize nuclear energy. They rely on the process of nuclear fission or fusion to create an explosive release of energy.
How many nuclear bombs would it take to kill everyone in the world if all detonated at the same time?
It is difficult to determine the exact number of nuclear bombs it would take to kill everyone in the world, as many factors such as location and size of the bombs would come into play. However, it is estimated that a few hundred strategically placed nuclear bombs could have catastrophic global consequences.
Are nuclear bombs made with nuclear fusion?
Nuclear bombs can use either nuclear fission or nuclear fusion as the primary mechanism of energy release. Most nuclear bombs in current arsenals rely on nuclear fission reactions, while thermonuclear bombs use a fission reaction to trigger a fusion reaction.
Is there gamma radiation in nuclear bombs?
Yes, nuclear bombs produce gamma radiation as a result of the nuclear fission or fusion reactions that release high-energy photons. Gamma radiation is a form of electromagnetic radiation that accompanies the explosion of nuclear devices.
