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 Harthah
The DMS coordinates are: 30°35'5.3'' N 47°45'40.1'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 30.58481°
LngO = 47.76114°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -30.58481°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 47.76114 - 180° = -132.23886°
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 Harthah is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-30.58481, -132.23886)
In DMS format: 30°35'5.3'' N 47°45'40.1'' E .
