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 Nõmme
The DMS coordinates are: 59°22'39.3'' N 24°41'9.1'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 59.37757°
LngO = 24.68587°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -59.37757°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 24.68587 - 180° = -155.31413°
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 Nõmme is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-59.37757, -155.31413)
In DMS format: 59°22'39.3'' N 24°41'9.1'' E .
