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 Attapeu
The DMS coordinates are: 14°48'38.6'' N 106°49'54.6'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 14.81071°
LngO = 106.83184°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -14.81071°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 106.83184 - 180° = -73.16816°
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 Attapeu is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-14.81071, -73.16816)
In DMS format: 14°48'38.6'' N 106°49'54.6'' E .
