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 Ayene
The DMS coordinates are: 1°51'21.3'' N 10°41'23.8'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 1.85592°
LngO = 10.68994°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -1.85592°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 10.68994 - 180° = -169.31006°
Since the longitude is positive, we subtract 180° to ensure the final value lies between (-180, 180). If it were the other way around, we would sum 180° for the same reason.
Result:
The antipode of Ayene is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-1.85592, -169.31006)
In DMS format: 1°51'21.3'' N 10°41'23.8'' E .
