Of course the distance varies extremely because land masses do not have perfectly square perimeters, giving a certain naivity to this question. Just do a Pacific Ocean search to get a concept of the shape and bordering land masses of the pacific. Widest point which I assume is from the Panama Canal to some point in Indonesia would have to be in the range of 9000 miles, at least three time the widest point of the Atlantic. The distance is so great that even when flying from the West coast of North America, airlines fly east to go to India and Africa via Europe. Only if crossing the northern Pacific, say Seattle to Hong Kong or to Australia(have to stop in Hawaii or Fiji) do airlines cross the pacific. I think Seattle, Vancouver, Sanfran to HK is about 5000 miles. the pacific covers an area about 20 times the size of the former USSR and more than 28 times the size of the USA. USA is the fifth largest country in the world so that gives an idea of the enormity of the pacific. there is a spot in the pacific that is 15 miles deep average is 7. The Himilayas average only 5 miles in hgt.
