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 Bascharage
The DMS coordinates are: 49°34'2.2'' N 5°54'26.3'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 49.56727°
LngO = 5.9073°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -49.56727°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 5.9073 - 180° = -174.0927°
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 Bascharage is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-49.56727, -174.0927)
In DMS format: 49°34'2.2'' N 5°54'26.3'' E .
