"Ballistic" refers to something that is thrown (shooting counts as "throwing"). A ballistic object is one that rises due to energy being applied to it and then falls back in response to gravity. Since gravity does not affect forward motion (air resistance does) ballistic objects are powered through the first half of their flight and then fall into their targets.

Arrows
Bullets
Rockets (except cruise missiles, which are powered all the way)
Artillery shells

What is the difference between a Surface to Air Missile and a Theater Ballistic Missile?
SAMs (Surface to Air Missiles) which gained notoriety during the Vietnam War (shooting down B-52 bombers/and fighter bombers) are for air defense and are part of the air defense system; as were deployed by North Vietnam during the war. ICBMs (Inter-Continental Ballistic Missiles=Nuclear Warheads/Atomic Weapons) were to supplement or replace manned bombers which were offensive weapons (aircraft=bombers) to strike enemy cities and other targets (missile sites, sea ports, air fields, repair facilities, ammuntion depots, factories, etc.).
What treaty between the US and the Soviet Union helped reduce the threat of nuclear war?
The Strategic Arms Limitation Talks (SALT) led to the SALT I treaty in 1972, which aimed to limit the number of nuclear weapons and their delivery systems between the United States and the Soviet Union. This treaty established caps on intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) and submarine-launched ballistic missiles (SLBMs), marking a significant step towards arms control during the Cold War. Additionally, the Anti-Ballistic Missile (ABM) Treaty, signed alongside SALT I, restricted the deployment of missile defense systems, further contributing to the reduction of nuclear tensions.
What is the need for ballistic missiles or atomic weapons?
Pure aggression/threat. There is far more risk to the human race from atomic weapons/ballistic missiles than potential benefit.

What devices were developed to deliver powerful nuclear weapons?
The intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) was the eventual method developed to deliver nuclear weapons. The variants IRBM (intermediate range ballistic missile) and SLBM (submarine launched ballistic missile) are currently used, along with cruise missiles. However, some weapons are still carried by jet bombers in the USAF's Air Force Global Strike Command (formerly Strategic Air Command).
