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 Cuautitlán Izcalli
The DMS coordinates are: 19°38'38'' N 99°12'57.5'' W.
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 19.64388°
LngO = -99.21598°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -19.64388°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = -99.21598 + 180° = 80.78402°
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 Cuautitlán Izcalli is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-19.64388, 80.78402)
In DMS format: 19°38'38'' N 99°12'57.5'' W.
