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 Macon
The DMS coordinates are: 32°50'26.5'' N 83°37'56.6'' W.
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 32.84069°
LngO = -83.6324°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -32.84069°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = -83.6324 + 180° = 96.3676°
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 Macon is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-32.84069, 96.3676)
In DMS format: 32°50'26.5'' N 83°37'56.6'' W.
