Nagasaki was bombed a few days later. That was the last time an atomic bomb was used in war. All atomic bombs used since then were detonated in remote areas or underground for tests.
Japan surrendered to the U.S.A after two atomic bombs had been dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki
Two atomic bombs were released by the United States over Japan and devastated Hiroshima and, three days later, Nagasaki. The number of total casualties in these bombings has been estimated to 200,000.
That was Tsutomu Yamaguchi who was a survivor of both the Hiroshima and Nagasaki atomic bombings during World War II. Although at least 160 people are known to have been affected by both bombings and he is the only person to have been officially recognized by the government of Japan as surviving both explosions. He was in Hiroshima the day the first bomb was dropped and he was injured by the blast and had major traumas and burns. He went to Nagasaki to recover and three days later, he was again injured by the second bomb.
The Hiroshima atomic bomb caused significant soil contamination with radioactive materials like cesium-137 and strontium-90. This contamination had long-lasting effects on soil health and fertility and posed serious risks to human health and the environment. Reclamation and decontamination efforts have been ongoing to mitigate these effects.
The people of Hiroshima likely thought that they had been bombed by the Allies. Remember that by August 1945 most of Japan had been destroyed by Allied bombing. For almost three months the people of Japan had been bombed almost every day. Although Hiroshima had been spared from these bombings the people there would have just figured that their luck had run out.

World War II began on September 1, 1939, with the invasion of Poland by Germany. The bombing of Japan, specifically the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, occurred in August 1945. Therefore, the war had been ongoing for nearly six years before the bombings.

No. The only nuclear weapon used in a war was when America dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima and then shortly after on Nagasaki, there have been many tests since however.
In Nagasaki immediate deaths range from 40,000 to 75,000. Total deaths by the end of 1945 may have reached 80,000. In Hiroshima 70,000--80,000 people, or about 30% of the population of Hiroshima were killed by the blast and resultant firestorm, and another 70,000 injured. Over 90% of the doctors and 93% of the nurses in Hiroshima were killed or injured. Most had been in the downtown area which received the greatest damage.
