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 Pella
The DMS coordinates are: 41°24'29'' N 92°54'58.7'' W.
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 41.40805°
LngO = -92.91631°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -41.40805°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = -92.91631 + 180° = 87.08369°
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 Pella is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-41.40805, 87.08369)
In DMS format: 41°24'29'' N 92°54'58.7'' W.
