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 Capitán Bado
The DMS coordinates are: 23°16'2.4'' S 55°32'19.5'' W.
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = -23.26733°
LngO = -55.53876°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = 23.26733°
Since the latitude is negative (south direction), the antipode must be positive (north direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = -55.53876 + 180° = 124.46124°
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 Capitán Bado is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (23.26733, 124.46124)
In DMS format: 23°16'2.4'' S 55°32'19.5'' W.
