Distance from London to Chile: Why the Question Is Unanswerable as Asked

The question "How many kilometres from London to Chile?" cannot be answered directly because:

• London is a city
• Chile is a country (4,300 km long north–south)
• They are separated by the Atlantic Ocean — no road/rail connection exists
