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 Hohn
The DMS coordinates are: 54°17'60'' N 9°30'0'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 54.3°
LngO = 9.5°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -54.3°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 9.5 - 180° = -170.5°
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 Hohn is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-54.3, -170.5)
In DMS format: 54°17'60'' N 9°30'0'' E .
