It didn't really. The war was all but over when Hiroshima and Nagasaki were bombed. It did ensure the Japanese surrendered earlier then they may have otherwise done. There were claims made that doing so saved many lives. Many people did not believe that at the time and more do not believe it today.

The west knew that the USSR would be its main rival after the war and by showing that the west, the US in particular, had 'the bomb' was a demonstration to the USSR who had not yet developed the weapon.

No bomb ended WWII.

Is the inside of a baseball identical to the inside of an atom bomb?

The inside of an atom bomb is not the same as the inside of a baseball, but the fissile material (enriched uranium/plutonium) contained in an atom bomb could be about the same size as a baseball. The material is surrounded by shaped explosives, detonators, control circuits and a suitable casing. If a baseball was the same as an atomic bomb, nobody would play the game due to an unacceptable risk of vapourisation or radiation poisoning.


What radiation do atomic bombs give of?

The radiation levels of atomic bombs vary according to the amount of radioactive elements put into the bombs or missiles and if they are actually used. Once the radioactive matter is inside the bomb housing the radiation levels are negligible but once one of the nuclear bombs is used then the variables come into play. (see related link below to see how complex it is) Consider this: the atomic bombs dropped on Japan in 1945 are 1/10th the killing power of today's nuclear missiles. If one modern nuclear missile were to be used today the bomb would be able to kill about a third of the world with the initial bomb blast and radiation fallout. The radiation level after Hiroshima and Nagasaki was not really measured until after the US occupied Japan. The Japanese leaders did not really understand the radiation fallout and poisonous danger and they did not use radiation detectors right after the blast. It is rumored the radiation levels were 100 times today's acceptable levels of radiation.

Was there a girl helping Albert Einstein with atomic Bomb?

Albert Einstein did not make the atomic bomb.
