that would cushion the blow but according to size thered still be big chunks after explosion worst that could happen is that it hits a small country

If it slammed in the side heading towards earth that wouldn't be a problem, The force of the nuke would be more than enough to push chunks out of the suns gravity, or at least stop them from colliding with earth. As for other planets.... We better look out for Uranus, not because of its name but because it is composed of methane and if it explodes, well, bye bye guys.

even if that happens some fragments would fly towards us maybe not as bad but still deadly in size just not countryt eradicator besides the keyhole event is only 2.7% likely lets hope it misses the keyhole zone

Indeed. But the world has survived fragment collisions before.

true but it needs a big nuke not the regular sized

dude the nukes we have are fricken huge russia has the largest nuke in the world and it could completely destroy north america all by itself. if the nukes in washington blow up they will destroy a complete hole in the earth dont worry we have some extremely large nukes-why? i have no fricken clue

Because war is a game of comparing dick size and nobody wants to be the smallest. That's why weapons continue to get more sophisticated.

Well if its like comparing dick sizes then Ireland wins hands down <object class="emojione" data="https://resources.enjin.com/1489581540/themes/core/images/emojione/svg/1f600.svg?0" type="image/svg+xml" standby=":d">:d</object>

if it was about comparing dick size i win

50K won't get you a nuke.

Random specs :

The moon is 11,400,262 feet in Diameter.

The asteroid is roughly 885 feet in Diameter.

A nuclear explosion's blast radius is 10,560 feet

More likely, they will ram a spaceship into it, to change its path.

This is all if it actually is on a course to hit Earth :
