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 Chemin Grenier
The DMS coordinates are: 20°29'14'' S 57°27'56'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = -20.48722°
LngO = 57.46556°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = 20.48722°
Since the latitude is negative (south direction), the antipode must be positive (north direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 57.46556 - 180° = -122.53444°
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 Chemin Grenier is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (20.48722, -122.53444)
In DMS format: 20°29'14'' S 57°27'56'' E .
