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 Mungyeong
The DMS coordinates are: 36°35'40.5'' N 128°11'58.1'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 36.59458°
LngO = 128.19946°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -36.59458°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 128.19946 - 180° = -51.80054°
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 Mungyeong is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-36.59458, -51.80054)
In DMS format: 36°35'40.5'' N 128°11'58.1'' E .
