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 Birkerød
The DMS coordinates are: 55°50'51.3'' N 12°25'40.5'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 55.84759°
LngO = 12.42791°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -55.84759°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 12.42791 - 180° = -167.57209°
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 Birkerød is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-55.84759, -167.57209)
In DMS format: 55°50'51.3'' N 12°25'40.5'' E .
