About destroying/blowing up the earth

[Adamjensen2030]

How much energy does it take to destroy the earth via splitting the earth in half?

How much energy does it take to blow up the earth instantly?

Thanks for reading.

In any situation it require the Earth GBE as minimal energy needed, unless after the earth is splitted still being in one "piece", in that case in unquantificable with GBE being the highest end.

 

[Adamjensen2030]

Okay, so blowing up the earth instantly equals 2.7 Yottatons (high end of 5-B/low end of 5-A) correct?

Also can you please calculate how much energy is needed if the earth took 1 to 2 seconds to blow up?


I appreciate the answers.

Earth GBE is 2.24*10^32 J, that is planet level.

Time is irrelevant, if the earth was one-shot instantly then is planet level; if it took to much the earth explode, most likely we are talking about chain reaction, that is les than the GBE.

The 7 Chaos Emeralds low ends feat in Sonic Unleashed were calculated to be at 7.2 Yottatons 5-A despite not blowing up the earth at all.

I'm guessing that it vaporized or atomized a great portion of the earth, otherwise don't know why it has that raking. Other method that use other member is using the KE of the explosion, a questionable method for me, but is only used in animations and when the planet explode completaly

 

[Adamjensen2030]

So what's the KE of blowing up the Earth instantly and would it sit near the low end/high end of 5-B?

 

[Antoniofer]

It would need to be calculated, people generally scale the size and use a video player to find the timeframe; results gererally leads to 5-A+

But in my opinion, that is a questionable method.
