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 Oberhausen
The DMS coordinates are: 48°10'36.8'' N 16°35'6.2'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 48.1769°
LngO = 16.58506°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -48.1769°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 16.58506 - 180° = -163.41494°
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 Oberhausen is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-48.1769, -163.41494)
In DMS format: 48°10'36.8'' N 16°35'6.2'' E .
