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 Edmonton
The DMS coordinates are: 36°58'48.2'' N 85°36'43.9'' W.
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 36.98006°
LngO = -85.61219°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -36.98006°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = -85.61219 + 180° = 94.38781°
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 Edmonton is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-36.98006, 94.38781)
In DMS format: 36°58'48.2'' N 85°36'43.9'' W.
