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 Beverly Hills
The DMS coordinates are: 34°4'25'' N 118°24'1.3'' W.
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 34.07362°
LngO = -118.40036°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -34.07362°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = -118.40036 + 180° = 61.59964°
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 Beverly Hills is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-34.07362, 61.59964)
In DMS format: 34°4'25'' N 118°24'1.3'' W.
