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 Junglinster
The DMS coordinates are: 49°42'26'' N 6°15'11'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 49.70722°
LngO = 6.25306°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -49.70722°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 6.25306 - 180° = -173.74694°
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 Junglinster is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-49.70722, -173.74694)
In DMS format: 49°42'26'' N 6°15'11'' E .
