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 Rima-Szombat
The DMS coordinates are: 48°22'58.2'' N 20°1'20.6'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 48.38284°
LngO = 20.02239°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -48.38284°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 20.02239 - 180° = -159.97761°
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 Rima-Szombat is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-48.38284, -159.97761)
In DMS format: 48°22'58.2'' N 20°1'20.6'' E .
