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 Letsheng
The DMS coordinates are: 22°39'49.8'' S 27°13'26'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = -22.66384°
LngO = 27.2239°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = 22.66384°
Since the latitude is negative (south direction), the antipode must be positive (north direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 27.2239 - 180° = -152.7761°
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 Letsheng is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (22.66384, -152.7761)
In DMS format: 22°39'49.8'' S 27°13'26'' E .
