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 Quinhameli
The DMS coordinates are: 11°53'13'' N 15°51'20'' W.
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 11.88694°
LngO = -15.85556°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -11.88694°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = -15.85556 + 180° = 164.14444°
Since the longitude is negative, we sum 180° to ensure the final value lies between (-180, 180). If it were the other way around, we would subtract 180° for the same reason.
Result:
The antipode of Quinhameli is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-11.88694, 164.14444)
In DMS format: 11°53'13'' N 15°51'20'' W.
