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 Perugia
The DMS coordinates are: 43°6'43.9'' N 12°23'19.6'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 43.1122°
LngO = 12.38878°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -43.1122°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 12.38878 - 180° = -167.61122°
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 Perugia is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-43.1122, -167.61122)
In DMS format: 43°6'43.9'' N 12°23'19.6'' E .
