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 Rosa Zarate
The DMS coordinates are: 0°19'40'' N 79°28'26.7'' W.
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 0.32779°
LngO = -79.47407°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -0.32779°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = -79.47407 + 180° = 100.52593°
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 Rosa Zarate is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-0.32779, 100.52593)
In DMS format: 0°19'40'' N 79°28'26.7'' W.
