What would happen if humanity decided to unleash nuclear weapons on every planet in our Solar System? From the scorching surface of Mercury to the icy edges of Neptune, this thought experiment pushes science, physics, and imagination to their limits.

In this video, we explore how nuclear explosions would behave in wildly different environments, like the crushing atmosphere of Venus, the gas giants with no solid surface, and the frozen worlds beyond. Would nukes even detonate the same way in space? Could they alter entire planets… or would they barely leave a mark?
