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 Haven
The DMS coordinates are: 36°45'38.6'' S 142°11'39.3'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = -36.76072°
LngO = 142.19426°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = 36.76072°
Since the latitude is negative (south direction), the antipode must be positive (north direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 142.19426 - 180° = -37.80574°
Since the longitude is positive, we subtract 180° to ensure the final value lies between (-180, 180). If it were the other way around, we would sum 180° for the same reason.
Result:
The antipode of Haven is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (36.76072, -37.80574)
In DMS format: 36°45'38.6'' S 142°11'39.3'' E .
