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).

This includes hydraulic diameter, the equivalent diameter of a channel or pipe through which liquid flows, and the Sauter mean diameter of a collection of particles. The diameter of a circle is exactly twice its radius. However, this is true only for a circle, and only in the Euclidean metric.
