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 Charleville
The DMS coordinates are: 49°46'6.6'' N 4°43'29.5'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 49.7685°
LngO = 4.72487°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -49.7685°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 4.72487 - 180° = -175.27513°
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 Charleville is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-49.7685, -175.27513)
In DMS format: 49°46'6.6'' N 4°43'29.5'' E .
