leg span
Distance between feet
Leg span is the distance from the tip of one outstretched leg to the tip of the opposite leg, measured across the body.
The term appears most often in descriptions of spiders and other arthropods: The giant huntsman has a leg span of up to twelve inches.
For humans, leg span typically refers to the distance between feet when legs are spread apart.
