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 Somerset
The DMS coordinates are: 37°5'31.3'' N 84°36'14.8'' W.
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 37.09202°
LngO = -84.60411°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -37.09202°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = -84.60411 + 180° = 95.39589°
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 Somerset is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-37.09202, 95.39589)
In DMS format: 37°5'31.3'' N 84°36'14.8'' W.
