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 Greater Sudbury
The DMS coordinates are: 46°29'24'' N 80°59'24'' W.
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 46.49°
LngO = -80.99001°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -46.49°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = -80.99001 + 180° = 99.00999°
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 Greater Sudbury is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-46.49, 99.00999)
In DMS format: 46°29'24'' N 80°59'24'' W.
