Can you make an Earth sandwich from Pimpri-Chinchwad?
No, not from Pimpri-Chinchwad itself. The other slice would land in the South Pacific Ocean, 877 km from the nearest dry land (Chile), where the sea floor lies about 4,040 m below the surface. Boats do not count (Sandwich Law § 1.3).
The nearest place from which an exact Earth sandwich is possible is 993 km from Pimpri-Chinchwad, 25 km from Jaisalmer, India. Its other slice would go down 20 km from Hanga Roa, Chile.
How this was worked out: the antipode flips the latitude and moves the longitude by 180°. Land or sea comes from the OpenStreetMap coastline the map uses; the sandwich verdict and elevations come from the verifier's 0.2° grid (Natural Earth land, ETOPO 2022 relief); water names from Natural Earth; towns and populations from GeoNames. The city's position is GeoNames' point for it; a big city's suburbs spread tens of kilometres around that point, and the figures move with them. Generated 2026-09-29.
