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 Riberalta
The DMS coordinates are: 11°0'36.9'' S 66°3'9.3'' W.
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = -11.01026°
LngO = -66.05257°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = 11.01026°
Since the latitude is negative (south direction), the antipode must be positive (north direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = -66.05257 + 180° = 113.94743°
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 Riberalta is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (11.01026, 113.94743)
In DMS format: 11°0'36.9'' S 66°3'9.3'' W.
