If you were to draw a straight line from Orlando through the center of the Earth, it would emerge in open ocean in the Southern Hemisphere, in a remote part of the eastern Indian Ocean.

Why does Orlando’s antipode fall in the Indian Ocean?
Orlando lies in the south-eastern United States, north of the equator and west of the Prime Meridian. When its latitude is inverted and its longitude shifted 180 degrees, the antipodal point lands in the Indian Ocean.
Because the Southern Hemisphere at these longitudes is dominated by ocean, most cities in Florida have antipodes that fall far from land rather than on another continent.
A geographic contrast
One point is a subtropical inland city shaped by lakes, tourism, and warm Atlantic air.
The other lies beneath vast southern skies, surrounded by deep ocean, monsoon-influenced waters, and long distances to the nearest coastline.
Opposite in position — and dramatically different in environment.
