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:

Lat O : Latitude at the origin point.

: Latitude at the origin point. Lng O : Longitude at the origin point.

: Longitude at the origin point. Lat A : Latitude at the antipodal point.

: Latitude at the antipodal point. Lng A : Longitude at the antipodal point.

Step 1: Obtain the geographic coordinates of Hanga Roa

The DMS coordinates are: 27°9'9.1'' S 109°25'27.8'' W.

Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:

Lat O = -27.15253° Lng O = -109.42438°

Step 2: Calculate the latitude

Lat A = - Lat O = 27.15253°

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

Step 3: Calculate the longitude

Lng A = Lng O ± 180° = -109.42438 + 180° = 70.57562°

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 Hanga Roa is located on coordinates: (Lat A , Lng A ) = (27.15253, 70.57562)

In DMS format: 27°9'9.1'' S 109°25'27.8'' W.
