The term "antipodes" refers to two places on opposite sides of the earth so that a straight line drawn through the earth from one to the other passes through the center of the earth.
To be exact antipodes, two places must be 180 ° of longitude away from each other, antipode must be as many degrees north latitude as the other is south latitude.
The antipodes of any place on the Earth is the point on the Earth's surface which is diametrically opposite to it. Two points that are antipodal to each other are connected by a straight line running through the centre of the Earth. An antipodal point it is often called an antipode.
