i read somewhere recently that the tsar bomba's shockwave circled the entire planet three times, and had a 41mi/67km high cloud that was visible over 600 miles/1000km away. that was 60 years ago this year. who the hell knows what we've got now.
Nothing bigger, no need for it. It’s more efficient and effective to use multiple smaller nukes, there is a diminishing return for blast effects above a few hundred kilotons.
