The longest continuous east–west distance at sea between two continents is 15,409 km (9,575 mi) along the latitude 18°39'12"N, from the coast of Hainan, China across the Pacific Ocean to the coast of Michoacán, Mexico
2) The length between two vertices is calculated on the surface of a sphere. 3) The sum of the lengths of the pairs of vertices is aggregated for each individual line, and 4) the sum of the lengths of individual lines was aggregated for a country.
In addition to the above number of land borders per country, some countries have a man-made bridge, causeway or tunnel between each other without having any proper land border. These artificial land borders are usually less than 50 metres (160 ft) long.
Geographical distance or geodetic distance is the distance measured along the surface of the Earth, or the shortest arch length. The formulae in this article calculate distances between points which are defined by geographical coordinates in terms of latitude and longitude. This distance is an element in solving the second (inverse) geodetic ...
The two continents are separated by 7.7 nautical miles (14.2 kilometers, 8.9 miles) at its narrowest point. [2] Ferries cross between the two continents every day in as little as 35 minutes. The Strait's depth ranges between 300 and 900 metres (980 and 2,950 feet; 160 and 490 fathoms). [3]
The international border between Canada and the United States is the longest in the world by total length. [ a ] The boundary (including boundaries in the Great Lakes , Atlantic, and Pacific coasts) is 8,891 km (5,525 mi) long.
The theory of the world’s “longest rail ride” originated when the Laos-China railway opened for business, linking Kunming and Vientiane – a missing link in the rails between Europe and ...
The highest peak, Noshaq, is located along the border between two countries, while some of the highest peaks in the world, including K2, are a short distance to the east of the Line's end on the Pakistani side. The Kunar River, Kabul River, Kurram River and Gomal River all cross the Durand Line.
