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 Carouge
The DMS coordinates are: 46°10'51.5'' N 6°8'21.2'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 46.18096°
LngO = 6.13921°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -46.18096°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 6.13921 - 180° = -173.86079°
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 Carouge is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-46.18096, -173.86079)
In DMS format: 46°10'51.5'' N 6°8'21.2'' E .
