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 Muang Không
The DMS coordinates are: 14°7'4.3'' N 105°51'16.9'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 14.11785°
LngO = 105.85469°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -14.11785°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 105.85469 - 180° = -74.14531°
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 Muang Không is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-14.11785, -74.14531)
In DMS format: 14°7'4.3'' N 105°51'16.9'' E .
