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 Charlottesville
The DMS coordinates are: 38°1'45.5'' N 78°28'36'' W.
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 38.02931°
LngO = -78.47668°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -38.02931°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = -78.47668 + 180° = 101.52332°
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 Charlottesville is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-38.02931, 101.52332)
In DMS format: 38°1'45.5'' N 78°28'36'' W.
