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 Viligili

The DMS coordinates are: 0°45'32.6'' N 73°25'58.7'' E .

Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:

LatO = 0.75906°

LngO = 73.43296°

Step 2: Calculate the latitude

LatA = - LatO = -0.75906°

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

Step 3: Calculate the longitude

LngA = LngO ± 180° = 73.43296 - 180° = -106.56704°

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 Viligili is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-0.75906, -106.56704)

In DMS format: 0°45'32.6'' N 73°25'58.7'' E .
