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 Carlisle
The DMS coordinates are: 38°58'6.2'' N 87°24'20.1'' W.
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 38.96838°
LngO = -87.40557°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -38.96838°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = -87.40557 + 180° = 92.59443°
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 Carlisle is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-38.96838, 92.59443)
In DMS format: 38°58'6.2'' N 87°24'20.1'' W.
