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 Yaguachi Nuevo
The DMS coordinates are: 2°5'48.5'' S 79°41'41.5'' W.
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = -2.0968°
LngO = -79.69485°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = 2.0968°
Since the latitude is negative (south direction), the antipode must be positive (north direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = -79.69485 + 180° = 100.30515°
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 Yaguachi Nuevo is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (2.0968, 100.30515)
In DMS format: 2°5'48.5'' S 79°41'41.5'' W.
