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 Takatsuki
The DMS coordinates are: 34°50'54'' N 135°37'0.4'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 34.84833°
LngO = 135.61678°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -34.84833°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 135.61678 - 180° = -44.38322°
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 Takatsuki is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-34.84833, -44.38322)
In DMS format: 34°50'54'' N 135°37'0.4'' E .
