A hydrogen bomb releases 1x10^17 joules. How many bomb explosions are equal to the sun's energy output each second?

Question

A hydrogen bomb releases 1x10¹⁷ joules. How many bomb explosions are equal to the sun's energy output each second?

Answer 1

Look up the energy output of the sun in an astronomy book.  You will want it in watts (J/s).  That is the number of joules the sun puts out in 1 second.  Divide that number by the energy release of a single hydrogen bomb.  The result is the number of H-bomb explosions equivalent to the sun's energy output in 1 second.
