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 Krugersdorp
The DMS coordinates are: 26°5'8.8'' S 27°46'30.5'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = -26.08577°
LngO = 27.77515°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = 26.08577°
Since the latitude is negative (south direction), the antipode must be positive (north direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 27.77515 - 180° = -152.22485°
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 Krugersdorp is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (26.08577, -152.22485)
In DMS format: 26°5'8.8'' S 27°46'30.5'' E .
