Explanation

Far describes or shows a long distance, either in space, time, or degree. As an adjective, it means distant or not near in space or time. For example, “The school is far from my house”, or “They want to travel the world far in the future”. As an adverb, it shows how far something happens, moves, or progresses, such as “He walked far today”, or “She is far ahead in progress compared to her classmates”.
