How to calculate the antipodal point?
The antipode can be calculated by understanding the geographic coordinates and applying simple formulas. We will use the following variables:
- LatO: Latitude at the origin point.
- LngO: Longitude at the origin point.
- LatA: Latitude at the antipodal point.
- LngA: Longitude at the antipodal point.
Step 1: Obtain the geographic coordinates of Córdoba
The DMS coordinates are: 31°24'48.6'' S 64°10'51.8'' W.
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = -31.4135°
LngO = -64.18105°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = 31.4135°
Since the latitude is negative (south direction), the antipode must be positive (north direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = -64.18105 + 180° = 115.81895°
Since the longitude is negative, we sum 180° to ensure the final value lies between (-180, 180). If it were the other way around, we would subtract 180° for the same reason.
Result:
The antipode of Córdoba is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (31.4135, 115.81895)
In DMS format: 31°24'48.6'' S 64°10'51.8'' W.
