What's On the Opposite Side of the World From You?

Somewhere on Earth thousands of miles beneath your feat is someplace that's exactly opposite of you. What's going on there right now, where is it and how can you go about getting there?

I'm in Auckland New Zealand and My direct opposite is in between Sevilla and Malaga in Spain. I've been to Spain and Portugal and when people would say " oh you're so far away from home" I would say "Yeah I'm literally as far away as I can get".

Everyone should know that the number one rule is to never dig down

[theshyestant]

Flat earthers be in space if they dig down

It's amazing to me that nearly all land is opposite water. Obviously our planet is covered more by water than by land, but the idea that the continents are nearly perfect cutouts to stick into oceans on the opposite side of the planet is crazy.

What is the farthest away one can get from all these people commenting '1st'??

[oliveee]

This makes me remember in first grade when me and my friends tried to dig a hole to China in the playground lol

[RobbeYT]

Comments in 15 years be like: ”Jokes on you, I’m actually watching this on Mars lmao!”

[perspii]

That’s interesting that the US has that thing about digging straight down to China. The same idea is here in the UK but with the land down under, I remember trying to dig a hole in my back garden to Australia when I was a kid lol.

I'm married to an Indonesian and we can literally say we are from opposite sides of the world.
I'm from Colombia and my house hits Java Indonesia. I live in Java right now and to know the time back home I just have to switch DAY to NIGHT and vice versa.
Also studied Film in Buenos Aires Argentina but got tired and wanted to learn from a totally different culture so decided to finish studying at Beijing Film Academy which is also exactly opposite of Buenos Aires.
Whatsapp calls have a bit more noticeable delay, plane tickets are expensive but since is the furthest I can choose different routes on the way back and visit new places.

Earth is wider at the Ecuadorian line so our countries are as far as it gets.

Ecuador also hits some parts of Indonesia and Malaysia but I have yet to meet a couple like that.

Since you read this far check a 5 minutes film we made in opposite countries, it's under "Planet Zeme" a YouTube search away from you. Thanks

I love how you mentioned Auckland and Madrid being the most separated cities on the planet but failed to factor in Wellington, New Zealand's capital city which is almost the exact antipode of Madrid, seriously. Wellington's exact antipode would be on the outskirts of Greater Madrid, meaning those two cities are the most geographically separated cities on the planet

I live in New Zealand and literally spent 10min glaring at my floor think about spain.

[NoahPriestaf]

If you put 2 pieces of bread on 2 opposite cities you would make an earth sandwich

For anyone curious it’s actually not that hard to find the exact point most opposite from your location. All you have to do is add/subtract 180 degrees from both the latitude and longitude. You’ll have to mess with the numbers a bit as coordinates are a bit funky with how they start over in places but not super hard.

Think about this someone could be standing directly upside down from you

[raestera]

Watching from Kaikoura New Zealand, gonna start digging to Spain rn

“All of Hawaii is opposite of Botswana”

Someone in 1900s Botswana try’s to dig a whole straight down to escape the British

British: I’m about to end this mans whole career

[EnerJetix]

I wonder how many flat-earthers you pissed off

[sleet]

Everybody is saying stuff like "Hey other guy in New Zealand!"
Meanwhile I'm just wondering what species of fish are directly below me.

[terence]

I'm in Taipei, Taiwan (also called Formosa) and the direct opposite is the Province of Formosa in Argentina.
