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 Lielvārde
The DMS coordinates are: 56°43'14.4'' N 24°48'26.7'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 56.72066°
LngO = 24.80743°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -56.72066°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 24.80743 - 180° = -155.19257°
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 Lielvārde is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-56.72066, -155.19257)
In DMS format: 56°43'14.4'' N 24°48'26.7'' E .
