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 Poulan
The DMS coordinates are: 31°30'46.7'' N 83°47'15.6'' W.
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 31.51296°
LngO = -83.78767°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -31.51296°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = -83.78767 + 180° = 96.21233°
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 Poulan is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-31.51296, 96.21233)
In DMS format: 31°30'46.7'' N 83°47'15.6'' W.
