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 Darin Fort
The DMS coordinates are: 26°34'23.9'' N 50°2'25'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 26.5733°
LngO = 50.04028°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -26.5733°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 50.04028 - 180° = -129.95972°
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 Darin Fort is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-26.5733, -129.95972)
In DMS format: 26°34'23.9'' N 50°2'25'' E .
