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 Jodhpur
The DMS coordinates are: 26°16'6.3'' N 73°0'21.4'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 26.26841°
LngO = 73.00594°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -26.26841°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 73.00594 - 180° = -106.99406°
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 Jodhpur is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-26.26841, -106.99406)
In DMS format: 26°16'6.3'' N 73°0'21.4'' E .
