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 Caxito
The DMS coordinates are: 8°34'42.5'' S 13°39'51.3'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = -8.57848°
LngO = 13.66425°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = 8.57848°
Since the latitude is negative (south direction), the antipode must be positive (north direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 13.66425 - 180° = -166.33575°
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 Caxito is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (8.57848, -166.33575)
In DMS format: 8°34'42.5'' S 13°39'51.3'' E .
