A nuclear burst that occurs at an altitude above 1,000 feet is classified as an "airburst." In an airburst, the detonation happens in the atmosphere rather than at ground level, maximizing the blast's radius and thermal effects while minimizing fallout. This type of explosion is often used to achieve greater destruction over a wider area and to reduce the amount of radioactive debris that falls to the ground.
