The distance across the US from north to south varies depending on the specific points chosen. However, the approximate distance from the northernmost point in the US, Point Barrow in Alaska, to the southernmost point, Ka Lae in Hawaii, is about 5,000 miles (8,000 kilometers) when measuring in a straight line. This distance encompasses a wide range of geographical features, climates, and ecosystems due to the vast size and diverse nature of the United States.
South America
Alaska... the U.S. is south
the united states ecause i think north and south America are alternatives
Cuba is an island lying east of North America.
The answer would have to be for the contiguous US, excluding Alaska and Hawaii. (Alaska is 1480 miles long and 810 miles wide, including the Aleutians.)For the "lower 48," either the north-south direction or the east-west distance can be considered "width".In the east-west direction, the contiguous US is about 2800 miles from California, Oregon, or Washington to Maine or Florida. The north-south distance is about 1600 miles at its widest (North Dakota to Brownsville, TX), about the same length as the Atlantic coast from Maine to Florida.The minimum east-west width, from San Diego, CA to Savannah GA, is only about 2150 miles.
The distance in miles from the North Coast in the US to the South Coast is about 320 miles. This is equivalent to 510 kilometers.
The distance from the northern border of the contiguous United States to the southern border is roughly 1,500 miles.
The United States tapers north to south, so driving distances will vary. It's about 2800 miles from New York to LA.
The US tapers from about 3200 miles across in the north to about 2500 miles across in the south.
Greatest north-south distance in the 48 contiguous states: 1,650 miles

Yes, simply drive south across Wyoming and you are there.
Greatest north-south distance in the 48 contiguous states: 1,650 miles
Canada is north of the US, Mexico is south.
Greatest north-south distance in the 48 contiguous states: 1,650 miles
In the US, it varies from about 2350 miles in the south to 3350 in the north.
To get from North America to Europe you would go East across the Atlantic ocean. If you were in Southern US, or further south, you would have to go North East across the Atlantic to get to Europe.
