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 Gambo
The DMS coordinates are: 4°38'53.4'' N 22°15'47.9'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 4.64816°
LngO = 22.26331°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -4.64816°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 22.26331 - 180° = -157.73669°
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 Gambo is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-4.64816, -157.73669)
In DMS format: 4°38'53.4'' N 22°15'47.9'' E .
