Antipodal point
text:
In mathematics, two points of a sphere are called antipodal or diametrically opposite if they are the endpoints of a diameter, a straight line segment between two points on a sphere and passing through its center. Given any point on a sphere, its antipodal point is the unique point at greatest distance, whether measured intrinsically or extrinsically. Every great circle on a sphere passing through a point also passes through its antipodal point, and there are infinitely many great circles passin
