How to calculate the antipodal point?
The antipode can be calculated by understanding the geographic coordinates and applying simple formulas. We will use the following variables:
- LatO: Latitude at the origin point.
- LngO: Longitude at the origin point.
- LatA: Latitude at the antipodal point.
- LngA: Longitude at the antipodal point.
Step 1: Obtain the geographic coordinates of Bumba
The DMS coordinates are: 2°11'15.8'' N 22°28'5.8'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 2.18771°
LngO = 22.46827°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -2.18771°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 22.46827 - 180° = -157.53173°
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 Bumba is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-2.18771, -157.53173)
In DMS format: 2°11'15.8'' N 22°28'5.8'' E .
