The equator is at 0o latitude. The South Pole is at 90o south and the North Pole is at 90o north, for a total latitude difference of 180o.

Since a whole sphere (which is a 3D circle) is 360° any way you slice through the center , From one point to an opposite point (antipodal points) must be half of 360o, or 180o.
