1945
The first nuclear bomb was dropped on Hiroshima, Japan on 6 August 1945. this was the gun-type weapon codenamed Little Boy. Three days later, 9 August 1945, the third nuclear detonation in history occurred over Nagasaki, Japan, with the dropping of the implosion type device, Fat Man. The first nuclear detonation in history occurred at the Trinity test site outside Alamogordo, New Mexico on 16 July 1945.

No, the hydrogen fusion bomb was not developed until 1952. The first nuclear weapons were developed and used in combat in 1945.

The detonation point of a nuclear bomb explosion is where the bomb is triggered to release its energy. This can occur either in the air, on the ground, or underwater, depending on the desired impact and effect of the explosion. The detonation point is carefully chosen to maximize the destructive potential of the bomb.
The first detonation of a nuclear device was the Trinity Detonation on July 16, 1945 35 miles southeast of Socorro, New Mexico
A gravity dropped nuclear bomb could fall several tens of thousands of feet from bomber to detonation. A ballistic missile's warhead could travel tens of thousands of miles from launch site to detonation.
The first nuclear atomic bomb, known as "Little Boy," which was dropped on Hiroshima, contained uranium-235 as its fissile material. It used a gun-type design where two sub-critical masses of uranium were brought together to initiate a nuclear chain reaction. The bomb also included conventional explosives to compress the uranium and various mechanisms for detonation, such as a triggering device and safety features to prevent accidental detonation. Additionally, it had a casing to contain the explosion and facilitate the bomb's delivery.
Yes, Trinity Site is the location of the first atomic bomb testing. It was the site of the Trinity Test, which was the first detonation of a nuclear weapon on July 16, 1945, as part of the Manhattan Project.
As with any bomb the primary effect is blast.
Blasts, thermal radiation, and prompt ionizing radiation causing significant destruction within seconds or minutes of a nuclear detonation.

The first hydrogen bomb tested by the US was codenamed "Mike" and tested in the Marshall Islands.
The detonation of the bomb seemed fast approaching and inevitable.
