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 Porto Mansoa
The DMS coordinates are: 12°4'24'' N 15°19'8'' W.
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 12.07333°
LngO = -15.31889°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -12.07333°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = -15.31889 + 180° = 164.68111°
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 Porto Mansoa is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-12.07333, 164.68111)
In DMS format: 12°4'24'' N 15°19'8'' W.
