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 Cáceres
The DMS coordinates are: 39°28'35.4'' N 6°22'20.1'' W.
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 39.47649°
LngO = -6.37224°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -39.47649°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = -6.37224 + 180° = 173.62776°
Since the longitude is negative, we sum 180° to ensure the final value lies between (-180, 180). If it were the other way around, we would subtract 180° for the same reason.
Result:
The antipode of Cáceres is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-39.47649, 173.62776)
In DMS format: 39°28'35.4'' N 6°22'20.1'' W.
