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 Traiskirchen
The DMS coordinates are: 48°0'53.5'' N 16°17'35.7'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 48.01485°
LngO = 16.29324°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -48.01485°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 16.29324 - 180° = -163.70676°
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 Traiskirchen is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-48.01485, -163.70676)
In DMS format: 48°0'53.5'' N 16°17'35.7'' E .
