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 Fernan Vaz
The DMS coordinates are: 1°34'28.7'' S 9°15'42.6'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = -1.57464°
LngO = 9.26184°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = 1.57464°
Since the latitude is negative (south direction), the antipode must be positive (north direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 9.26184 - 180° = -170.73816°
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 Fernan Vaz is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (1.57464, -170.73816)
In DMS format: 1°34'28.7'' S 9°15'42.6'' E .
