How to calculate the antipodal point?

The antipode can be calculated by understanding the geographic coordinates and applying simple formulas. We will use the following variables:

  • LatO: Latitude at the origin point.
  • LngO: Longitude at the origin point.
  • LatA: Latitude at the antipodal point.
  • LngA: Longitude at the antipodal point.

Step 1: Obtain the geographic coordinates of Mariënburg

The DMS coordinates are: 5°52'38'' N 55°2'35.6'' W.

Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:

LatO = 5.87722°

LngO = -55.04322°

Step 2: Calculate the latitude

LatA = - LatO = -5.87722°

Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).

Step 3: Calculate the longitude

LngA = LngO ± 180° = -55.04322 + 180° = 124.95678°

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 Mariënburg is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-5.87722, 124.95678)

In DMS format: 5°52'38'' N 55°2'35.6'' W.
