The bombs that were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki were atomic bombs and not nuclear bombs and were designed to explode above the ground and not on impact.

The American ships were approximately 12 miles (19 kilometers) away from Hiroshima when the atomic bomb was dropped on August 6, 1945. Despite this distance, some crew members on those ships still experienced the impact and witnessed the devastating effects of the explosion.
The two Japanese cities that were bombed in August 1945 were Hiroshima and Nagasaki. These bombings, carried out by the United States, were the first and only instances of nuclear warfare. The bombings resulted in significant loss of life and had a major impact on Japan's surrender in World War II.
Upon impact, 70,000 people were killed instantly and another 70,000 injured. At that time, Hiroshima had a population of around 255,000. It's believed that there were around 140,000 deaths in total.
Any: conventional, nuclear, or impact can cause a mushroom cloud.
Blasts, thermal radiation, and prompt ionizing radiation causing significant destruction within seconds or minutes of a nuclear detonation.
The bombs that were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki were atomic bombs and not nuclear bombs and were designed to explode above the ground and not on impact.
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.
Shockwaves and thermal radiation are mainly emiited in a nuclear detonation. When the nuclear blasts hits the ground, kinetic energy from the impact will be released, similar to an earthquake, causing shockwaves. Thermal radiation, or electromagnetic radiation, a result of energy released from the nuclear reaction of two nitrogen atoms forming a carbon and an oxygen atom, causes fires, thermal burns and blindness.
Nuclear wastes can contaminate soils, waters, atmosphere and consequently organisms and foods.

A nuclear bomb has never been dropped. It was an atomic bomb that was dropped on the Japanese cities Hiroshima ans Nagasaki. An atomic bomb is a nuclear weapon. Nuclear bombs have much more impact than atomic bombs, and could potentially end the World if a nuclear war was started.
The CBRNE agent that is accompanied by a highly destructive explosion causing extreme heat and impact is a nuclear weapon. The detonation of a nuclear device releases an intense amount of thermal energy and creates a powerful shockwave that can cause widespread destruction.
The estimate was: 90,000-166,000 people in Hiroshima and 60,000-80,000 in Nagasaki dead.
Missiles can detonate through various methods, such as impact detonation upon striking a target, proximity detonation triggered by a sensor detecting the target's presence, or command detonation initiated by a remote operator. The specific detonation mechanism depends on the missile's design and intended use.
