In geography, the antipode (/ ˈ æ n t ɪ ˌ p oʊ d, æ n ˈ t ɪ p ə d i /) of any spot on Earth is the point on Earth's surface diametrically opposite to it. A pair of points antipodal ( / æ n ˈ t ɪ p ə d əl / ) to each other are situated such that a straight line connecting the two would pass through Earth's center.
The two points P and P ' (red) are antipodal because they are ends of a diameter PP ', a segment of the axis a (purple) passing through the sphere's center O (black). P and P ' are the poles of a great circle g (green) whose points are equidistant from each (with a central right angle).
Each 45×90 point is the antipode – the point on the opposite side of Earth – of another 45×90 point. The southern Indian Ocean location and the point in Wisconsin are antipodes of each other. The southern Pacific Ocean location and the point in China are antipodes of each other.
Lambert azimuthal equal-area projection of the world. The center is 0° N 0° E. The antipode is 0° N 180° E, near Kiribati in the Pacific Ocean.That point is represented by the entire circular boundary of the map, and the ocean around that point appears along the entire boundary.
Antipode, progressive social science general; Antipodes by Jim Sanborn; The Antipodes, a c. 1640 stage play by Richard Brome; Antipodes, journal of the American Association for Australian Literary Studies; Risley (circus act), a circus skill that involves juggling with one's feet while lying on one's back, also known as antipode
A polar opposite is the diametrically opposite point of a circle or sphere. It is mathematically known as an antipodal point, or antipode when referring to the Earth. It is also an idiom often used to describe people and ideas that are opposites.

A function is called odd (aka antipodal or antipode-preserving) if for every : () = ().. The Borsuk–Ulam theorem is equivalent to the following statement: A continuous odd function from an n-sphere into Euclidean n-space has a zero.
