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 Ipsonas
The DMS coordinates are: 34°41'16.7'' N 32°57'42.9'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 34.68797°
LngO = 32.96191°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -34.68797°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 32.96191 - 180° = -147.03809°
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 Ipsonas is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-34.68797, -147.03809)
In DMS format: 34°41'16.7'' N 32°57'42.9'' E .
