Only two person knew about the mission's details. The rest of the crew learned of the destruction when the weapon detonated. They could believe what they saw.

How many days after the atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima was a treaty signed?
8 days.
Which city was the atomic bomb drop in Japan?
On August 6, 1945 Hiroshima was the primary target cityof the Little Boy enriched uranium atomic bomb and the bomb was dropped there.On August 9, 1945 Kokura was the primary target city of the Fatman plutonium atomic bomb, however due to heavy smoke cover from a nearby city that had been firebombed the night before it was not possible for the bombardier to identify the aim point and it was decided to proceed to the secondary target.On August 9, 1945 Nagasaki was the secondary target cityof the Fatman plutonium atomic bomb and the bomb was dropped there, despite heavy cloud cover making it difficult for the bombardier to identify the aim point (as it was the bombardier identified the wrong point, resulting in the Fatman being dropped about 1.9 miles from the planned aim point). The aircraft did not have enough fuel left to consider proceeding to the tertiary target city.
What was the name of the atomic bombs?
Nobody. They were called Fatman (the Plutonium implosion MK-III bomb) and Little Boy (the Uranium gun MK-I bomb) because of their shapes. There is some mythology that the codenames Little Boy was named after FDR and Fatman was named after Winston Churchill to mislead spies into thinking that the "Silverplate" modified B-29s were being modified to transport those leaders, not a new type of bomb. But this is contradicted by the codename Thin Man (the Plutonium gun MK-II bomb) whose design was canceled before beginning work on the Fatman design. Thin Man would have fit FDR much better than Little Boy did and Little Boy could not have been named for Winston Churchill.
Is there a timeline for the atomic bomb?
porket may atomic , bomb agad,

What the atomic bomb looks like?
Very much like any other freefall gravity bomb, although Fatman was kind of short and stubby for a bomb of its size and weight due to the spherical construction of its physics package.
How many days after the atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima was a treaty signed?
8 days.
Would giving soviets the atomic bomb secrets prevented the cold war would it have evened out the playing field?
No, because the soviets already had all the atomic bomb secrets even before the bombs were dropped on Japan! The secrets were handed to them by spies at Los Alamos who were designing the bombs!The only thing that delayed a soviet atomic bomb from 1945 to 1949 when they detonated their copy of Fatman (built directly from stolen Fatman plans) was the time it took to build the industrial infrastructure needed to make plutonium and the other bomb components.Another thing to realize is there are no real secrets about nuclear weapons. It is all physics that any good physicist can figure out. The soviets actually had their own independent atomic bomb design by 1947 that was better than the stolen Fatman, but Beria would not let the atomic scientists build and test it until after the stolen Fatman design was tested (and nothing could be tested until 1949 as stated above). Both the US and USSR independently developed and tested hydrogen bombs only 1 year apart!

How did Albert Einstein contributed on making the atomic bomb?
He signed a letter that Leo Szilard wrote to FDR. That is all.

Is Pakistani bomb is an Islamic bomb?
If you consider the US atomic bomb is a Christian bomb, the French atomic bomb is also Christian bomb and so on, then you can name the Pakistani atomic bomb an Islamic bomb.
