When did the atomic bombs get dropped?

The atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima on 6th of August 1945 and the atomic bomb was dropped on Nagasaki on 9th August 1945. it was 8:16am when the atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima. Also the bomb was dropped by a B29 bomber (type of plane) that was named Enola Gay, after the pilot's mother. And the compartment where the bomb was stored was below -50 degrees to stop it from over heating and exploding, the pilot had to prepare the bomb before dropping it as well, (so it was active/live) this was the most dangerous part of the operation because if he did one little thing wrong it could have blown up right there.
