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 Cypress
The DMS coordinates are: 33°49'1.1'' N 118°2'14.2'' W.
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 33.81696°
LngO = -118.03729°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -33.81696°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = -118.03729 + 180° = 61.96271°
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 Cypress is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-33.81696, 61.96271)
In DMS format: 33°49'1.1'' N 118°2'14.2'' W.
