Is there a way to gauge how much energy it'd take to reduce the Earth to dust in a powerful explosion?
 
Dang. Is there a calc for being able to shatter the Earth to pieces, or is that not quantifiable?
 
It can be quantified, but only in specific instances
 
I think "reducing the earth to dust" will imply standard planet busting more times than not.
 
@Maverick Zero X

For both cases it would probably be the best to stick to Earth's GBE to be conservative, which is 2.487 x 1032 J. I chose it because I assume that in both cases the planet will not reform itself.

Edit: I doubt that reducing to dust would affect the result that much, so Earth's GBE still work.
