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 Chihuahua
The DMS coordinates are: 28°38'7'' N 106°5'20'' W.
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 28.63528°
LngO = -106.08889°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -28.63528°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = -106.08889 + 180° = 73.91111°
Since the longitude is negative, we sum 180° to ensure the final value lies between (-180, 180). If it were the other way around, we would subtract 180° for the same reason.
Result:
The antipode of Chihuahua is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-28.63528, 73.91111)
In DMS format: 28°38'7'' N 106°5'20'' W.
