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 Dainava (Kaunas)

The DMS coordinates are: 54°54'54.9'' N 23°58'5.9'' E .

Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:

LatO = 54.91525°

LngO = 23.96831°

Step 2: Calculate the latitude

LatA = - LatO = -54.91525°

Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).

Step 3: Calculate the longitude

LngA = LngO ± 180° = 23.96831 - 180° = -156.03169°

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 Dainava (Kaunas) is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-54.91525, -156.03169)

In DMS format: 54°54'54.9'' N 23°58'5.9'' E .
