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 La Entrada
The DMS coordinates are: 15°3'0'' N 88°43'60'' W.
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 15.05°
LngO = -88.73333°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -15.05°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = -88.73333 + 180° = 91.26667°
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 La Entrada is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-15.05, 91.26667)
In DMS format: 15°3'0'' N 88°43'60'' W.
