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 Les Avirons
The DMS coordinates are: 21°14'26.3'' S 55°20'12.7'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = -21.24063°
LngO = 55.33685°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = 21.24063°
Since the latitude is negative (south direction), the antipode must be positive (north direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 55.33685 - 180° = -124.66315°
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 Les Avirons is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (21.24063, -124.66315)
In DMS format: 21°14'26.3'' S 55°20'12.7'' E .
