How to calculate the antipodal point?
The antipode can be calculated by understanding the geographic coordinates and applying simple formulas. We will use the following variables:
- LatO: Latitude at the origin point.
- LngO: Longitude at the origin point.
- LatA: Latitude at the antipodal point.
- LngA: Longitude at the antipodal point.
Step 1: Obtain the geographic coordinates of San Dimas
The DMS coordinates are: 34°6'24'' N 117°48'24.2'' W.
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 34.10668°
LngO = -117.80673°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -34.10668°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = -117.80673 + 180° = 62.19327°
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 San Dimas is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-34.10668, 62.19327)
In DMS format: 34°6'24'' N 117°48'24.2'' W.
