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 Peoria
The DMS coordinates are: 33°34'50.2'' N 112°14'14.6'' W.
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 33.5806°
LngO = -112.23738°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -33.5806°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = -112.23738 + 180° = 67.76262°
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 Peoria is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-33.5806, 67.76262)
In DMS format: 33°34'50.2'' N 112°14'14.6'' W.
