Pourquoi est-ce feminine ?

Distances is feminine in French because it derives from the Latin noun *distantia*, which is feminine (following the first declension pattern ending in *-ia*), and French retained the grammatical gender of its Latin source word. This is typical for many French nouns ending in *-ance* and *-ence*, which are predominantly feminine due to their Latin feminine origins.
