根據Merriam Webster字典的第一條解釋: "seperated by an interval or space
greater then usual"，然後在Longman裡面的解釋是:"far away from other places or
people, and very few people go there" 可見remote偏向人煙罕至的那種遙遠。
far的話你可以在台灣說美國是一個far place，但你應該不會說美國是一個remote place
吧? 純屬個人見解，有錯請指正囉^^

個人的判讀是看習慣使用...
如果單就原提問者
在時間或空間而言的用途上兩者的差異....其實沒差多少....
但二者其他的意思有不同的用法....
我個人建議在教學英文時，
請以「用法」而非「翻譯解釋」來教導學生單字詞彙
而學習「用法」的方式
1. 多查字典的用法說明，多看例句 2. 廣泛閱讀
以下是韋氏字典跟Collins字典的英英解釋，以資原提問者參考。
（其實我一直比較喜歡Collins...解釋簡單易懂又清楚明瞭....Webster有點太學究了）
