The first atomic bomb "little boy" dropped on Hiroshima. The second atomic bomb "fat man" dropped on Nagasaki 3 days later.

But was Nagasaki the original target of the second atomic bomb "fat man"?

No, Nagasaki was not its original target. Kokura was the target.

The B-29 bomber was under orders to attack a clear target city only and Kokura was not, it was clouded over.
Nagasaki was the first alternative target city and where the "fat man" dropped.
