How far is the equator from Australia?

Answer 1

Don't the know the northernmost point of Australia, but according to one source, Darwin, Australia, which is on the northern coast of Australia, is 647 nautical miles from the Equator, which translates to 745 miles. Verify if that's true, but it's a start!

Answer 2

This would depend on which point in Australia was meant. The distance from Darwin, on Australia's northern coast, to the Equator is approximately 1370 km. This is the equivalent of about 850 miles.

The closest point is Australia's Moa Island in the Torres Strait, at 10.0798° south latitude. That is about 1118 km or 695 miles from the nearest point on the Equator.

Answer 3

From Darwin, the capital of the Northern Territory in Australia, to the equator, is a distance of about 1300km. From the northernmost point of mainland Australia, Cape York, the distance is around 1100 km.

Answer 4

The equator is approximately 10,000 kilometers away from Australia. The closest point on the Australian continent to the equator is Cape York Peninsula in Queensland, which is about 6-7 degrees south of the equator.
