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 Castle Hill
The DMS coordinates are: 33°43'60'' S 151°0'0'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = -33.73333°
LngO = 151°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = 33.73333°
Since the latitude is negative (south direction), the antipode must be positive (north direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 151 - 180° = -29°
Since the longitude is positive, we subtract 180° to ensure the final value lies between (-180, 180). If it were the other way around, we would sum 180° for the same reason.
Result:
The antipode of Castle Hill is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (33.73333, -29)
In DMS format: 33°43'60'' S 151°0'0'' E .
