How long can mean either how much time or how much length or distance.

If someone asks, "How long before you're ready to go?" he wants to know how much time remains until you are ready to go. If someone asks, "How long does it take to get to your house from here?" he is asking for the total travel time. If someone asks, "How long is a football field?" or "How long is your pencil?" he is asking for the length.
