How the antipode of Beijing is found
An antipode is the point exactly opposite on the other side of the planet. The latitude of Beijing changes hemisphere and the longitude moves by 180°, so 39.9°N 116.4°E becomes 39.9°S 63.6°W. That point is 12,742 km away straight through the Earth and about 20,015 km along the surface in any direction.
