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 Mouila
The DMS coordinates are: 1°52'6.5'' S 11°3'21.4'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = -1.86846°
LngO = 11.05594°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = 1.86846°
Since the latitude is negative (south direction), the antipode must be positive (north direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 11.05594 - 180° = -168.94406°
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 Mouila is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (1.86846, -168.94406)
In DMS format: 1°52'6.5'' S 11°3'21.4'' E .
