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 Vitina
The DMS coordinates are: 42°19'17'' N 21°21'30'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 42.32139°
LngO = 21.35833°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -42.32139°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 21.35833 - 180° = -158.64167°
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 Vitina is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-42.32139, -158.64167)
In DMS format: 42°19'17'' N 21°21'30'' E .
