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 El Tigre
The DMS coordinates are: 8°53'20.5'' N 64°15'9.7'' W.
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 8.88902°
LngO = -64.2527°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -8.88902°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = -64.2527 + 180° = 115.7473°
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 El Tigre is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-8.88902, 115.7473)
In DMS format: 8°53'20.5'' N 64°15'9.7'' W.
