Russia and the United States are located on different continents, so the distance between them depends on the specific location in each country that you are measuring from. However, the shortest distance between the two countries is about 4,000 miles (6,500 kilometers) across the Bering Strait, which separates Russia and the United States at their closest points. The distance between Russia and the United States is significantly greater if you are measuring from other locations in the two countries.
