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 Cameron
The DMS coordinates are: 30°51'11.7'' N 96°58'36.9'' W.
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 30.85325°
LngO = -96.97693°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -30.85325°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = -96.97693 + 180° = 83.02307°
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 Cameron is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-30.85325, 83.02307)
In DMS format: 30°51'11.7'' N 96°58'36.9'' W.
