In a hypothetical situation, it would take fifty megaTNT to completely decimate the Earth into pieces. Saturn would take fifty times the amount of megaTNT to blow up that the Earth does, and the sun would need one hundred times the amount of megaTNT that Saturn does. How much megaTNT is needed to completely explode the sun?
We start with the Earth needing 50 megaTNT to explode. Saturn needs 50x this amount. That’s 2500 megaTNT. The sun needs 100x the amount that Saturn does, which is 2500. 2500 x 100 is 250,000.
