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 Concordia
The DMS coordinates are: 31°23'34.7'' S 58°1'15.2'' W.
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = -31.39296°
LngO = -58.02089°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = 31.39296°
Since the latitude is negative (south direction), the antipode must be positive (north direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = -58.02089 + 180° = 121.97911°
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 Concordia is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (31.39296, 121.97911)
In DMS format: 31°23'34.7'' S 58°1'15.2'' W.
