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 Lakeland
The DMS coordinates are: 28°2'22.1'' N 81°56'59.3'' W.
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 28.03947°
LngO = -81.9498°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -28.03947°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = -81.9498 + 180° = 98.0502°
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 Lakeland is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-28.03947, 98.0502)
In DMS format: 28°2'22.1'' N 81°56'59.3'' W.
