How to calculate the antipodal point?
The antipode can be calculated by understanding the geographic coordinates and applying simple formulas. We will use the following variables:
- LatO: Latitude at the origin point.
- LngO: Longitude at the origin point.
- LatA: Latitude at the antipodal point.
- LngA: Longitude at the antipodal point.
Step 1: Obtain the geographic coordinates of Unggi-yu
The DMS coordinates are: 42°21'4.2'' N 130°22'59.1'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 42.35118°
LngO = 130.38307°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -42.35118°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 130.38307 - 180° = -49.61693°
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 Unggi-yu is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-42.35118, -49.61693)
In DMS format: 42°21'4.2'' N 130°22'59.1'' E .
