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 Dilla
The DMS coordinates are: 6°25'0'' N 38°19'0'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 6.41667°
LngO = 38.31667°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -6.41667°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 38.31667 - 180° = -141.68333°
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 Dilla is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-6.41667, -141.68333)
In DMS format: 6°25'0'' N 38°19'0'' E .
