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 Greenville
The DMS coordinates are: 34°51'9.4'' N 82°23'38.4'' W.
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 34.85262°
LngO = -82.39401°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -34.85262°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = -82.39401 + 180° = 97.60599°
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 Greenville is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-34.85262, 97.60599)
In DMS format: 34°51'9.4'' N 82°23'38.4'' W.
