This article will show you how far 200 feet is with examples.
200 feet is a short distance and can be seen easily with the human eye.
If you are unsure of how far away 200 feet is, it’s a good idea to reference other items of similar distance for comparison.
Measuring this distance is not something that is easily done with a measuring tape or ruler, so to help you get a sense of how far 200 feet really is, here are some examples.
200 feet equals 60.96 meters or 66.66 yards.
NHL Hockey rink
If you are a hockey fan, using the length of a hockey rink is a great example of how far 200 feet is. If you were sitting at one end of the ice surface and looked down to the other end, it would be 200 feet away. The ice surface of an NHL hockey rink is 200 feet long.
Airport runway
Airport runways can vary in length and width depending on a variety of factors. Many of the larger airports that have commercial service with major airlines will have larger runways than private airports. The length of these runways can be up to 10,000 feet in length but if you are looking to find out how far 200 feet is, you need to look at the width of these runways as many of them are exactly 200 feet wide.
Walking steps
Walking is another great way to determine how far 200 feet is. The average person will cover 3 feet with each step. It can vary for each person. But around 70 steps will cover 200 feet. So by counting 70 of your own number of steps then looking at the distance covered will give you an idea of how far 200 feet is.
20 story building
Buildings are commonly used to determine heights as they are simple to reference. For example, a 10 story building is around 100 feet tall and a 20 story building is around 200 feet tall. If you want to know how far 200 feet is, look at a 20 story building to give you an idea.
4 Semi truck trailers
Depending on your location, the length of the trailers pulled by transport or semi-trucks are either 48 or 53 feet long. They are very common and chances are you will see them on a daily basis. These trailers are a great item to use for comparing length or distances. If you can picture 4 of these trailers lined up together in a row, they would equal close to 200 feet long. This will give you an example of how far away 200 feet is.
2 Blue whales
Blue whales are not going to be something you see every day, but for reference purposes, a Blue whale is around 100 feet long. So if you imagine 2 of these whales together, they would equal 200 feet long and give you an idea of how far away 200 feet is.
8 Garden hoses
I like to use garden hoses as an example of length as most people are familiar with them. Most garden hoses are available in either 25, 50, or 100-foot lengths. If we look at the common 25-foot garden hose, 8 of them connected together would equal 200 feet long. Also, 4 of the 50-foot hoses or 2 of the 100-foot hoses would give you an example of how far 200 feet is.
10 Patio decks
Although patio decks can be build to pretty much any size, it is common for people to have a deck that is around 16-20 feet in length. I have a 20-foot long deck and it is a decent size that most people can relate to. If you can imagine 20 of these patio decks placed together side by side, it will give you an idea of how far 200 feet really is.
