Since it is an imaginary line on the map that divides the northern hemisphere from the Southern Hemisphere, there can be no opposite.
There is another, however, and it is an imaginary line on a star map that separates the northern hemisphere from the southern hemisphere of stars.

∙ 11y agoThe opposite meridian is 180° longitude -- it is the same line E or W longitude-- which forms the basis for the International Date Line. The 0° and 180° meridians combine to form a continuous circle (in the same plane) around the planet.

The 180th Meridian or 180° longitude is the exact opposite of the Prime Meridian.
What is the opposite side of the globe from the Prime Meridian called?
The opposite side of the Prime Meridian is called the 180th meridian. In a circular system of 180 degrees, the two conspire to create what scientist refer to as the great circle.
What is the prime maridian?
The Prime Meridian is the meridian (line of longitude) at which the longitude is defined to be 0°.The Prime Meridian and its opposite the 180th meridian (at 180° longitude), which the International Date Line generally follows, form a great circle that divides the Earth into the Eastern and Western Hemispheres.

No. The Prime Meridian is. The International Dateline nominally (but not exactly) follows the 180° meridian ... exactly opposite and half a world away from the Prime Meridian.
