Question:
How wide is the Pacific Ocean at:
40 north latitude? Kilometers: miles:
0 latitude? Kilometers: miles:
Answer:
• Width of Pacific ocean at 40° North latitudes = Roughly 7580 kilometers or 4710 miles
• Width of Pacific ocean at 0° latitudes/Equator = Roughly 16550 kilometers or 10283 miles
Note:- According to some sources the width is slight different.
[ The Pacific divides the North America and South America from Asia and Australia. The equator can further divided up it into North Pacific and South Pacific. Pacific ocean ranges from the southern Antarctic area to the northern Arctic. The Pacific Ocean is largest ocean on the planet with an area of 165,200,000 km2, covers nearly one-third of the Earth’s surface. Width of Pacific ocean at the Equator is approximately 16550km, Where it is lies between 131°E to 80°W longitudes. at about 5°N latitude, the Pacific approaches its largest east-west range where it spans about 19,800 km. Width of Pacific ocean at 40° North latitudes is nearly 7580km(Between 142°E to 124°W). It stretched roughly 15,500km from the Bering Sea in the Arctic to the northern limit of the circumpolar Southern Ocean at 60°S. ]
