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 Huaquillas
The DMS coordinates are: 3°28'30.8'' S 80°13'51'' W.
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = -3.47523°
LngO = -80.23084°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = 3.47523°
Since the latitude is negative (south direction), the antipode must be positive (north direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = -80.23084 + 180° = 99.76916°
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 Huaquillas is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (3.47523, 99.76916)
In DMS format: 3°28'30.8'' S 80°13'51'' W.
