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 Hunde
The DMS coordinates are: 11°30'0'' N 3°31'0'' W.
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 11.5°
LngO = -3.51667°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -11.5°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = -3.51667 + 180° = 176.48333°
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 Hunde is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-11.5, 176.48333)
In DMS format: 11°30'0'' N 3°31'0'' W.
