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 Mmopone
The DMS coordinates are: 24°34'1'' S 25°52'27'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = -24.56694°
LngO = 25.87417°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = 24.56694°
Since the latitude is negative (south direction), the antipode must be positive (north direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 25.87417 - 180° = -154.12583°
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 Mmopone is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (24.56694, -154.12583)
In DMS format: 24°34'1'' S 25°52'27'' E .
