What country is located opposite 29 45' 37 north latitude west longitude 95 22' 10?

Answer 1

That point is on the block bounded by Bagby, Walker, Smith, and McKinney Streets ...

the block occupied mostly by City Hall ... in downtown Houston, TX.

The point on earth directly opposite it ... the point where you'd emerge if you dug

straight down through the floor of City Hall and kept going, through the center of

the earth and out the other side ... is located at

29° 45' 37" south latitude

84° 37' 50" east longitude.

Like almost everywhere else in the area opposite the continental USA, that point

is far out in the Indian ocean, roughly equidistant from any land you might want to

reach if you were stranded out there. It's approximately . . .

-- 2,550 miles from the nearest point on the coast of Antarctica

-- 2,310 miles from the nearest point on the coast of Madagascar

-- 3,030 miles from the nearest point on the coast of Africa

-- 1,800 miles from Mauritius, 1,900 miles from Reunion

-- 2,480 miles from the nearest point on the coast of Sri Lanka

-- 2,090 miles from the nearest point in Indonesia

-- 1,750 miles from the nearest point on the coast of Australia.

Obviously, you're a lot better off in the basement of City Hall in Houston.
