🌐 Ethiopia’s Global Position — Equator, Prime Meridian & Antipode

📍 DISTANCE FROM EQUATOR
1,018 km
(633 mi) • Ethiopia's center is in the northern hemisphere

The point exactly opposite Ethiopia's center through the Earth's core
If you dug a tunnel straight through the Earth's center from Ethiopia, you'd surface nearest to Ua-Huka, French Polynesia, about 27 km from the exact antipodal point — most of the Earth's surface opposite any given point is open ocean, so an exact land match is rare.
