Harmon Killebrew was known for his long distance power hitting. His longest measured home run was 520 at Minnesota's Metropolitan Stadium. He likely had longer ones that were not measured.
Ted William's longest home run in Fenway Park was 502 feet, but I don't know if that was his longest home run ever.
Difficult to say. Even today the distance that a home run has travelled (or would have travelled) is an estimate and not an exact measurement of distance. Trying to give an exact number for balls hit several decades ago would be even more problematic. News reports do record some truly long home runs hit by Ruth, and one of them MIGHT have been the longest ever hit. But we can't be certain.
Ronnie Green of the KC Royals hit the longest home run at Fenway Park in 1987
Africa is home to the world's longest river. This is the Nile at over 6,500 km.
