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 Dhantardhi
The DMS coordinates are: 28°42'4.9'' N 80°35'23.1'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 28.70137°
LngO = 80.58975°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -28.70137°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 80.58975 - 180° = -99.41025°
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 Dhantardhi is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-28.70137, -99.41025)
In DMS format: 28°42'4.9'' N 80°35'23.1'' E .
