breadth
Side-to-side span
Breadth is width—the measurement of something from side to side: the breadth of the river.
More often, breadth describes range or scope: breadth of knowledge, breadth of experience.
Where depth suggests going deep into one area, breadth suggests covering wide ground.
The curriculum lacks breadth.
A hair's breadth is an extremely small distance or margin.
