Thank you for explaining, too. Now I understand, why Tsar bomba had that insane amount of power. Because it was measure in one second, while in reality, it released energy in the matter of nanoseconds. I've been missing it.

Thank you so very much for explaining. I think I'm finally starting to understand the difference. Like I said, I'm a newbie in physics, but I'm trying to dig into it. Thanks again.

I'm terrible sorry for annoying you, but I still don't understand something. Can we please compare the power and energy of that nuke to power and energy released by the Sun per second and to the power and energy, released by Three Gorges Dam? So I would understand it, with those examples?

I'm thankful for your answer, but there's still something I don't get. For example -- I read that 3380 Yotawatts is the total energy output of the Sun per second. But it still means, that Sun's colossal output happens because of it's size, right? And also -- on the wiki, they estimated, that...

Helly everyone. I'm new in physics and I don't understand many things there. What interests me the most is energy generation. I was mostly reading Wiki articles, and I found something I couldn't understand, so I'm asking for help. According to wiki, peak power output of the largest nuke ever was...
