The spelling of the phrase "distance acrosses" is incorrect. The correct spelling of the word is "distance across," which means the measurement of the width or breadth of something. The phonetic transcription of this word is /ˈdɪstəns əˈkrɔs/, with stress on the first syllable. The word "across" is pronounced with the vowel sound /ɔ/ (like in "law" or "caught"). It is important to spell correctly to avoid confusion and miscommunication.
