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 Anse Galets
The DMS coordinates are: 18°50'4.2'' N 72°51'59.2'' W.
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 18.83449°
LngO = -72.86644°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -18.83449°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = -72.86644 + 180° = 107.13356°
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 Anse Galets is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-18.83449, 107.13356)
In DMS format: 18°50'4.2'' N 72°51'59.2'' W.
