An air burst is the detonation of an explosive device such as an anti-personnel artillery shell or a nuclear weapon in the air instead of on contact with the ground or target or a delayed armor-piercing explosion. In physics, a shock wave (also spelled shockwave), or shock, is a type of propagating disturbance.
