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 Dandelhura
The DMS coordinates are: 29°17'54.3'' N 80°34'50.1'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 29.29842°
LngO = 80.58059°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -29.29842°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 80.58059 - 180° = -99.41941°
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 Dandelhura is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-29.29842, -99.41941)
In DMS format: 29°17'54.3'' N 80°34'50.1'' E .
