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 Caledonia
The DMS coordinates are: 33°40'58.4'' N 88°19'28.1'' W.
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 33.68289°
LngO = -88.32448°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -33.68289°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = -88.32448 + 180° = 91.67552°
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 Caledonia is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-33.68289, 91.67552)
In DMS format: 33°40'58.4'' N 88°19'28.1'' W.
