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 Vanderbijlpark
The DMS coordinates are: 26°42'42.2'' S 27°50'16.6'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = -26.71171°
LngO = 27.83795°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = 26.71171°
Since the latitude is negative (south direction), the antipode must be positive (north direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 27.83795 - 180° = -152.16205°
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 Vanderbijlpark is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (26.71171, -152.16205)
In DMS format: 26°42'42.2'' S 27°50'16.6'' E .
