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 Isoka
The DMS coordinates are: 10°9'38.2'' S 32°38'0.7'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = -10.16062°
LngO = 32.63353°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = 10.16062°
Since the latitude is negative (south direction), the antipode must be positive (north direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 32.63353 - 180° = -147.36647°
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 Isoka is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (10.16062, -147.36647)
In DMS format: 10°9'38.2'' S 32°38'0.7'' E .
