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 Norwood
The DMS coordinates are: 40°59'53.3'' N 73°57'42.5'' W.
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 40.99815°
LngO = -73.9618°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -40.99815°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = -73.9618 + 180° = 106.0382°
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 Norwood is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-40.99815, 106.0382)
In DMS format: 40°59'53.3'' N 73°57'42.5'' W.
