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 Banes
The DMS coordinates are: 20°57'40.2'' N 75°43'19.2'' W.
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 20.96116°
LngO = -75.722°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -20.96116°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = -75.722 + 180° = 104.278°
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 Banes is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-20.96116, 104.278)
In DMS format: 20°57'40.2'' N 75°43'19.2'' W.
