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 Ciudad Potosi
The DMS coordinates are: 19°35'1'' S 65°45'11'' W.
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = -19.58361°
LngO = -65.75306°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = 19.58361°
Since the latitude is negative (south direction), the antipode must be positive (north direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = -65.75306 + 180° = 114.24694°
Since the longitude is negative, we sum 180° to ensure the final value lies between (-180, 180). If it were the other way around, we would subtract 180° for the same reason.
Result:
The antipode of Ciudad Potosi is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (19.58361, 114.24694)
In DMS format: 19°35'1'' S 65°45'11'' W.
