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 Facatativá
The DMS coordinates are: 4°48'49.2'' N 74°21'16.3'' W.
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 4.81367°
LngO = -74.35453°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -4.81367°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = -74.35453 + 180° = 105.64547°
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 Facatativá is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-4.81367, 105.64547)
In DMS format: 4°48'49.2'' N 74°21'16.3'' W.
