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 Villa Gabu Sara
The DMS coordinates are: 12°16'48'' N 14°13'20'' W.
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 12.28°
LngO = -14.22222°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -12.28°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = -14.22222 + 180° = 165.77778°
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 Villa Gabu Sara is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-12.28, 165.77778)
In DMS format: 12°16'48'' N 14°13'20'' W.
