How far did the nuclear particles of hiroshima travel?

I assume that you are referring to fallout. It was only a tiny amount of the total fallout at Hiroshima, but as the mushroom cloud did enter the stratosphere some did travel around the world. Most of the fallout though probably fell back to earth in less than a couple hundred miles.

What is a nuclear fallout?

When a nuclear weapon explodes above ground there is a great upsurge in air currents because of the heat released-you will have seen pictures of the 'mushroom' cloud no doubt. This carries the fission products formed by the nuclear explosive, and also a lot of dust and debris some of which will have been made active by the huge burst of neutrons released in the explosion. This cloud is carried up so far and then falls to earth-this is the nuclear fall out. The prevailing wind will determine which way the plume goes, and how far.
