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 Tejar
The DMS coordinates are: 9°44'46.4'' N 84°14'1.2'' W.
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 9.74622°
LngO = -84.23368°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -9.74622°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = -84.23368 + 180° = 95.76632°
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 Tejar is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-9.74622, 95.76632)
In DMS format: 9°44'46.4'' N 84°14'1.2'' W.
