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 Savannakhet
The DMS coordinates are: 16°34'13.1'' N 104°45'43.9'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 16.5703°
LngO = 104.7622°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -16.5703°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 104.7622 - 180° = -75.2378°
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 Savannakhet is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-16.5703, -75.2378)
In DMS format: 16°34'13.1'' N 104°45'43.9'' E .
