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 Saint-Marc
The DMS coordinates are: 19°6'29.5'' N 72°41'37.6'' W.
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 19.10819°
LngO = -72.69379°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -19.10819°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = -72.69379 + 180° = 107.30621°
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 Saint-Marc is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-19.10819, 107.30621)
In DMS format: 19°6'29.5'' N 72°41'37.6'' W.
