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 Tominian
The DMS coordinates are: 13°17'14.5'' N 4°35'35.4'' W.
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 13.28737°
LngO = -4.59317°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -13.28737°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = -4.59317 + 180° = 175.40683°
Since the longitude is negative, we sum 180° to ensure the final value lies between (-180, 180). If it were the other way around, we would subtract 180° for the same reason.
Result:
The antipode of Tominian is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-13.28737, 175.40683)
In DMS format: 13°17'14.5'' N 4°35'35.4'' W.
