Was it a sunny or rainy day when the bomb was dropped on Hiroshima?
It had to be a sunny day because the bomb had to be dropped from a high altitude so as not to endanger the bomber, and the only way to hit the target during that era was by sighting it through an optical bomb sight. After Hiroshima, the next city to be bombed was Kokura, but it was saved by heavy cloud cover, and Nagasaki was bombed instead.
What were the decisions to drop bomb in world war 2?
On August 9th, Nagasaki was bombed. The B-29 Superfortress Bockscar, flown by Major Charles W. Sweeney, carried the nuclear bomb code-named "Fat Man". Actually, Kokura was the primary target, and Nagasaki the secondary. But, due to poor visibility because of cloud cover over Kokura and low fuel, the crew decided to go to Nagasaki.

Why were atomic bombs dropped only in nagasaki and why hiroshima out of the whole of japan?
doesn't really answer your questionduring the closing stages of the war against japan, japan was extensively fire bombed by the Americans. all the major industrial cities were basically destroyed. hiroshima kokura and nagasaki all had something in commonthey were coastalthey were surrounded by mountainsthey had minor military factories and portsthey had approximately 250,000 in populationthese cities were left basically untouched by the Americans during all of the bombings of japan. why?being surrounded by mountains it would contain the blasthaving ports and military targets gave a good reason for bombingsif you bombed Tokyo or Osaka you would kill a million plus civilians (not acceptable in public opinion) but believe it or not 250,000 is acceptable.they were dropped on those cities because they were perfect test sites for the atom bomb. you may ask what has kokura to do with it. kokura was the secondary target for the hiroshima bombing and the primary target for the nagasaki bombing. the bombs need to be dropped in fine weather for bombardier accuracy and to take arial phots of the effects. luckily for the people of kokura on the day of the hiroshima bombing it was fine in hiroshima and on the day of the nagasaki bombing it was overcast in kokura so they missed out.i hope this answered your question.Those two bombs were enough to kill thousands and thousands of people and to bring Lapan to it knees.
Which cities in Japan had been identified to drop nuclear bombs on?
The operatives of the Manhattan Project suggested Hiroshima, Kyoto, Kokura and Yokohama as prime targets for nuclear bombs. The government ended up choosing Hiroshima and Kokura. It was too cloudy to drop the second bomb on Kokura, so the pilots moved to the back-up city of Nagasaki.
