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 Vanløse
The DMS coordinates are: 55°41'1'' N 12°29'13.7'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 55.68361°
LngO = 12.48713°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -55.68361°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 12.48713 - 180° = -167.51287°
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 Vanløse is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-55.68361, -167.51287)
In DMS format: 55°41'1'' N 12°29'13.7'' E .
