A nuke can cover up to 200 miles. Mega Ton nukes blow up even farther. But the real affect of a nuke is the radiation. One nuke can spread radiation all over Europe. If you do get radiation you die in 2 days.
Though the answer above overstates the case they can be truly devastating.
The effect of a nuclear weapon depends on the 'yield' of the bomb.
The yield is measured in equivalent tonnage of TNT exploding but this is only an indication of the blast and not the radiation.
The bomb dropped on Hiroshima had an equivalent tonnage of 15 -20,000 tons of TNT.
The weapons today can be constructed in the millions of tons range easily.

How far could you protect yourself nuclear bomb?
You wouldn't be able to protect yourself, because you will instantly die if a nuclear bomb is dropped, as it is so powerful!
How far can a nuclear bomb travel?
A gravity dropped nuclear bomb could fall several tens of thousands of feet from bomber to detonation. A ballistic missile's warhead could travel tens of thousands of miles from launch site to detonation.
How far will a nuclear bomb reach when it explodes?
That depends on yield and burst height/depth.
How far does a nuclear bomb blow?
well it depends on which kind of nuclear bomb try this http://www.carloslabs.com/projects/200712B/GroundZero.html iyou select a bomb type and then click nuke it and it rough ly shows how much damage the specific bomb would inflict.

When was there a nuclear bomb on mars?
Never, as far as we know.
What would be the damage if a nuclear bomb went off?
That will depend on the size of the bomb, how far above ground it explodes, and how far away it is from you.
What would happen if you exploded a powerful bomb in the center of a large tornado?
For a massive wedge tornado, anything short of a nuclear bomb would probably not do much. A nuclear bomb would probably disrupt it, but at the same time would cause far more damage than the tornado itself could.
How far can a nuclear bomb go?
It can't go any where it can travel in an aeroplane.
Is a lahar the same power as a nuclear bomb?
No. A lahar carries far less power than a nuclear bomb. However, large explosive eruptions, which can lead to lahars, can be as strong as or stronger than a nuclear explosion.
How far will a nuclear bomb reach when it explodes?
That depends on yield and burst height/depth.
What is the hbomb?
A hydrogen bomb is, by far, the most destructive weapon that mankind has ever invented. It is the most powerful type of nuclear bomb.

Why do cockroaches survive a nuclear bomb?
The radiation LD50 of most insects is far higher than the LD50 of mammals.
How many miles could the nuclear bomb could affect other country?
That would depend on the bomb(s). FEMA estimates that in a reasonably anticipated nuclear missile exchange fallout from missiles attacking our silos in Montana could have a lethal plume extending as far east as Ohio. And that is only considering attacks on Montana. Missiles will undoubtedly attack in all states. You can check FEMA's website for the complete fallout projections map.
