What US nuclear weapon was the first 'laydown' surface burst bomb?

The first US weapon utilizing laydown delivery was the Mark 15 bomb, and was the first "light weight" thermonuclear bomb.
The Mark 7 bomb was delivered using the loft bombing, a similar technique to laydown, but laydown delivery and lob delivery are not one-and-the-same for various reasons including the use of a retarding parachute on the bomb during laydown, and the attitude of the aircraft when the weapon is released.

What type of nuclear burst occurs 100000 feet but the fireball doesn't contact the earth's surface?
Air Burst
What type of atomic burst is deadlier air burst surface burst or subsurface burst?
The deadly effects of an atomic, or nuclear weapon include heat, radiation and blast. All three of these effects will propagate over a greater surface area if detonated some distance in the air over the target. Assuming the target population is concentrated at or near the surface, such as a city or most military bases, an air burst would be most deadly. If the target is underground in a hardened bunker, then a surface or even subsurface detonation would be more effective.
Which type of nuclear burst occurs under 10000 feet but the fireball dosent contact the earth's surface?
air burstAir Burst

Which type of nuclear detonation creates a huge crater and carries millions of tons of earth into the air like a mushroom cloud?
Surface burst, but any nuclear weapon can be capable of doing that.
Which type of nuclear burst occurs above 10000 feet surface level?
High-altitude burst

High-altitude Burst
Which type of nuclear detonation creates a huge crater?

What is a zero point?
A zero point is the location of the centre of the burst of a nuclear weapon at the instant of detonation.
