bomb

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This could be a double definition.

'charge' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'the earth?' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how one could define the other.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for bomb that I've seen before include "packet" , "Mine" , "Exploding device" , "Drop" , "Great deal of money (slang)" .)
