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 Béboto
The DMS coordinates are: 8°16'0.5'' N 16°56'20.3'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 8.26681°
LngO = 16.93898°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -8.26681°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 16.93898 - 180° = -163.06102°
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 Béboto is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-8.26681, -163.06102)
In DMS format: 8°16'0.5'' N 16°56'20.3'' E .
