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 Renk
The DMS coordinates are: 11°44'35.2'' N 32°48'17.6'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 11.7431°
LngO = 32.8049°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -11.7431°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 32.8049 - 180° = -147.1951°
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 Renk is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-11.7431, -147.1951)
In DMS format: 11°44'35.2'' N 32°48'17.6'' E .
