A missile's explosion expands in a bubble of its own. The speed at which this bubble grows is called the <span style="color:#ccffee">''explosion velocity''</span>, and the maximum size that the bubble will reach is called the <span style="color:#ccffee">''explosion radius''</span>. A missile does not so much "hit" a ship as explode near it. EVE uses a [[#Missile damage formula|mathematical formula]] to compute the precise amount of damage that the explosion does to the ship.
