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 Carletonville
The DMS coordinates are: 26°21'39.4'' S 27°23'51.6'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = -26.36094°
LngO = 27.39767°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = 26.36094°
Since the latitude is negative (south direction), the antipode must be positive (north direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 27.39767 - 180° = -152.60233°
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 Carletonville is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (26.36094, -152.60233)
In DMS format: 26°21'39.4'' S 27°23'51.6'' E .
