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 Dorp Rincón
The DMS coordinates are: 12°13'60'' N 68°19'60'' W.
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 12.23333°
LngO = -68.33333°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -12.23333°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = -68.33333 + 180° = 111.66667°
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 Dorp Rincón is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-12.23333, 111.66667)
In DMS format: 12°13'60'' N 68°19'60'' W.
