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 Buota Village
The DMS coordinates are: 1°23'26.8'' N 173°7'51'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 1.39078°
LngO = 173.13082°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -1.39078°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 173.13082 - 180° = -6.86918°
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 Buota Village is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-1.39078, -6.86918)
In DMS format: 1°23'26.8'' N 173°7'51'' E .
