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 Haderslev
The DMS coordinates are: 55°14'57.9'' N 9°29'15.8'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 55.24943°
LngO = 9.48771°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -55.24943°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 9.48771 - 180° = -170.51229°
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 Haderslev is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-55.24943, -170.51229)
In DMS format: 55°14'57.9'' N 9°29'15.8'' E .
