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 Geraldton
The DMS coordinates are: 28°46'44.3'' S 114°36'52.5'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = -28.77897°
LngO = 114.61459°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = 28.77897°
Since the latitude is negative (south direction), the antipode must be positive (north direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 114.61459 - 180° = -65.38541°
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 Geraldton is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (28.77897, -65.38541)
In DMS format: 28°46'44.3'' S 114°36'52.5'' E .
