            Not even close. The American continents are approximately the same size as the Atlantic Ocean.

            The Pacific actually contains it’s own antipodal point: it is literally half the globe: a hemisphere.

            Or to put it another way. The Americas span approximately five time zones. That’s 75°, let’s be generous and say six to get a nice even 90°. That’s one quarter.
