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 Pangai

The DMS coordinates are: 19°48'52.8'' S 174°21'15.2'' W.

Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:

LatO = -19.81468°

LngO = -174.35423°

Step 2: Calculate the latitude

LatA = - LatO = 19.81468°

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

Step 3: Calculate the longitude

LngA = LngO ± 180° = -174.35423 + 180° = 5.64577°

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 Pangai is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (19.81468, 5.64577)

In DMS format: 19°48'52.8'' S 174°21'15.2'' W.
