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 Tānsen
The DMS coordinates are: 27°52'2.3'' N 83°32'48.1'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 27.86731°
LngO = 83.5467°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -27.86731°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 83.5467 - 180° = -96.4533°
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 Tānsen is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-27.86731, -96.4533)
In DMS format: 27°52'2.3'' N 83°32'48.1'' E .
