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 Saint Joseph
The DMS coordinates are: 15°24'0'' N 61°25'60'' W.
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 15.4°
LngO = -61.43333°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -15.4°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = -61.43333 + 180° = 118.56667°
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 Saint Joseph is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-15.4, 118.56667)
In DMS format: 15°24'0'' N 61°25'60'' W.
