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 Long
The DMS coordinates are: 20°57'54.1'' N 100°49'14.7'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 20.96504°
LngO = 100.82074°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -20.96504°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 100.82074 - 180° = -79.17926°
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 Long is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-20.96504, -79.17926)
In DMS format: 20°57'54.1'' N 100°49'14.7'' E .
