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 Hetauda
The DMS coordinates are: 27°25'42.2'' N 85°1'55.9'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 27.42839°
LngO = 85.03219°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -27.42839°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 85.03219 - 180° = -94.96781°
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 Hetauda is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-27.42839, -94.96781)
In DMS format: 27°25'42.2'' N 85°1'55.9'' E .
