Where it sits
40.7°N, 74.2°W puts EWR in the northern hemisphere, 4,524 km from the equator and 5,483 km from the North pole.
Of the 661 airports on this site it is the 168th most northerly, which makes it the 494th most southerly.
Straight through the middle
Straight down through the centre of the Earth comes out at 40.7°S, 105.8°E. The nearest airport on this site to that point is Perth (PER) in Australia, still 1,329 km away — most of the planet's antipodes are ocean.
What’s near it
The closest other airport on this site is LaGuardia (LGA), 27 km away in a straight line. 2 airports here sit within 100 km — worth checking which one your ticket actually says.

What’s on this page, and what isn’t
Every figure here is computed from the airport’s coordinates and the rest of the table — distances, bearings, ranks, the antipode. Nothing is written by hand, so nothing on it is a half-remembered fact about a terminal that was rebuilt in 2019.
Which also means what you won’t find: no passenger figures, no terminal maps, no airline lists, no live departures. Orbit is a logbook, not a flight tracker, and a page that invented those would be worse than one that leaves them out.
