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 diagram illustrating great-circle distance (drawn in red) between two points on a sphere, P and Q. Two antipodal points, u and v are also shown.. The great-circle distance, orthodromic distance, or spherical distance is the distance between two points on a sphere, measured along the great-circle arc between them.
“It was a boyish and androgynous look diametrically opposed from the curvy, padded women silhouette of the Edwardian era 15 years prior,” says King. “In the 1920s, bras were more like a ...

Diametrically opposed points represent a correlation of –1 = cos(π), called anti-correlation. Any two points not in the same hemisphere have negative correlation. An example would be a negative cross-sectional relationship between illness and vaccination, if it is observed that where the incidence of one is higher than average, the incidence ...
