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 Mogoditshane
The DMS coordinates are: 24°37'37'' S 25°51'56'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = -24.62694°
LngO = 25.86556°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = 24.62694°
Since the latitude is negative (south direction), the antipode must be positive (north direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 25.86556 - 180° = -154.13444°
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 Mogoditshane is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (24.62694, -154.13444)
In DMS format: 24°37'37'' S 25°51'56'' E .
