The equator is located at 0 degrees latitude, which means it is located at the circunference of Earth. Earth is shaped like a sphere, and the circumference of a sphere is the longest distance around any part of the sphere. Therefore, this makes the equator the longest line of latitude.
Given the following approximate radii for Earth and mars orbits: Earth = 149,598,261 km Mars = 227,939,150 km The shortest distance between the two is the difference between the two, which yields 4minutes 21seconds for radio to go that distance. The longest distance between the two is the sum, which yields 21minutes.
Dear Inquirer, The difference between the distance of Earth to the Moon (238,857 miles), and Earth to Jupiter (390,682,810 - 576,682,810 miles) is anywhere from: 390,449,953 mi (closest) to 576,443,953 mi (farthest apart) Signed, -CosmicShaman419
-- Each degree of latitude, anywhere on Earth, is about 69 miles in a north or south direction. -- Each degree of longitude covers a different distance, depending on the latitude. At the poles, any number of degrees of longitude cover zero distance.
The change in the length of the day is due to the tilt of the Earth. You will have your longest day of the year when you live of the part of the Earth that is tilted towards the Sun.

i am not that sure but i think 23rd of Jan
The farthest distance from earth a human being has traveled is 401,056 km, to the moon.
Naturally the ball in space will travel the longest distance as long as it does not bump into something along the way. Gravity on earth will cause the ball thrown to fall back to earth.

Google Earth quotes the distance at 67.2 miles - taking about 1 hour 23 minutes to drive.
The longest possible distance from one place to another on the surface of the earth is half of the earth's circumference.(If it were any further, you could go around the other way, which would be shorter.)Since the earth bulges slightly around the equator, the equator has the greatest circumference of any circle on the earth. The equatorial diameter is 7,926 miles (12,756 km) so the circumference at the equator is (7,926 x pi) = 24,900 miles (40,074 km).The longest possible distance between one place and another on the earth is 12,450 miles (20,037 km).
According to Google Earth - roughly 90 miles by road.
Anywhere there is jet air travel available.
The straight-line distance is 571 miles (919 km). This is the true straight line distance which accounts for the curvature of the earth, NOT the straight line drawn on a map.
The Sun is as close to Antarctica as it is to anywhere else on Earth. That distance is 1 AU or 149,598,000 kilometers
