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 Logan City
The DMS coordinates are: 27°38'21'' S 153°6'34'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = -27.63917°
LngO = 153.10944°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = 27.63917°
Since the latitude is negative (south direction), the antipode must be positive (north direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 153.10944 - 180° = -26.89056°
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 Logan City is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (27.63917, -26.89056)
In DMS format: 27°38'21'' S 153°6'34'' E .
