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 Soroti
The DMS coordinates are: 1°42'52.7'' N 33°36'40.1'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 1.71464°
LngO = 33.61113°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -1.71464°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 33.61113 - 180° = -146.38887°
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 Soroti is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-1.71464, -146.38887)
In DMS format: 1°42'52.7'' N 33°36'40.1'' E .
