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 Dayton
The DMS coordinates are: 40°22'21.4'' N 74°30'36.5'' W.
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 40.37261°
LngO = -74.51015°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -40.37261°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = -74.51015 + 180° = 105.48985°
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 Dayton is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-40.37261, 105.48985)
In DMS format: 40°22'21.4'' N 74°30'36.5'' W.
