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 Bolzano
The DMS coordinates are: 46°29'26.4'' N 11°20'23.4'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 46.49067°
LngO = 11.33982°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -46.49067°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 11.33982 - 180° = -168.66018°
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 Bolzano is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-46.49067, -168.66018)
In DMS format: 46°29'26.4'' N 11°20'23.4'' E .
