The bomb travels effectively nowhere when detonated as the detonation completes in a few microseconds.

However if you meant the bomb effects, that can be less than a mile to thousands of miles, depending on:

  • the exact effect (e.g. fireball, thermal flash, blast, fallout, EMP)
  • yield
  • burst height/depth
  • if burst was in ionosphere (intensifies EMP)
  • if burst was subsurface, material around burst
  • type of structures in affected area
  • etc.
