The antipode can be calculated by understanding the geographic coordinates and applying simple formulas. We will use the following variables:
Step 1: Obtain the geographic coordinates of Stratford
The DMS coordinates are: 43°22'0.4'' N 80°56'59'' W.
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 43.36679°
LngO = -80.94972°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -43.36679°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = -80.94972 + 180° = 99.05028°
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 Stratford is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-43.36679, 99.05028)
In DMS format: 43°22'0.4'' N 80°56'59'' W.
