    Nuclear winter is a period of cold and darkness that could follow a large-scale nuclear war, caused by smoke and dust blocking sunlight for months or years. It could cause drastic climate changes by depleting the ozone layer and disrupting ecosystems, leading to extreme weather, nuclear summers, and health hazards from increased UV radiation. The severity of nuclear winter could range from substantial cold and darkness to only nominal effects, depending on the number of nuclear weapons detonated.

    NUCLEAR WINTER

    NUCLEAR HOLOCAUST

    It is a period of abnormal cold and


    What is darkness predicted to follow a nuclear
    nuclear war, caused by a layer of smoke and
    dust in the atmosphere blocking the
    winter?
    sun's rays.

    CONSEQUENCES

    Nuclear winter is believed to have caused an imbalance in the


    ecosystem. Scientists suspect nuclear wars to be responsible for
    various environmental hazards such as drastic climatic fluctuations,
    nuclear summer, depletion of the ozone layer etc. The ozone layer
    around the earth acts as a filter and protects all the living entities
    from various harmful rays such as ultraviolet radiations which are
    known to cause skin cancers and other serious health hazards.
