High-altitude burst
High-altitude Burst
Above 100,000 feet altitude (20 miles).
Nuclear detonations that occur above ground tend to create mushroom clouds due to the rapid release of energy and heat into the atmosphere. The cloud is formed as the hot air and debris rise, expand, and cool, condensing moisture and creating the distinct mushroom shape.

No, a high altitude burst usually reduces the fallout generated, also it is a nuclear detonation.

high altitude burst
A high-altitude nuclear burst or high-altitude detonation occurs above 100,000 feet. This type of burst produces an intense burst of electromagnetic energy known as an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) that can disrupt electrical and communication systems over a wide area without causing significant physical damage on the ground. The fireball is not present in a high-altitude burst because the detonation occurs above the Earth's atmosphere.

A high-altitude nuclear burst occurs about 100,000 feet surface level. This type of burst generates an electromagnetic pulse that can disrupt or damage electrical systems and infrastructure over a wide area.
