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 Flying Fish Cove
The DMS coordinates are: 10°25'18.2'' S 105°40'44.8'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = -10.42172°
LngO = 105.67912°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = 10.42172°
Since the latitude is negative (south direction), the antipode must be positive (north direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 105.67912 - 180° = -74.32088°
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 Flying Fish Cove is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (10.42172, -74.32088)
In DMS format: 10°25'18.2'' S 105°40'44.8'' E .
