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 Santa Venera
The DMS coordinates are: 35°53'27'' N 14°28'27'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 35.89083°
LngO = 14.47417°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -35.89083°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 14.47417 - 180° = -165.52583°
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 Santa Venera is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-35.89083, -165.52583)
In DMS format: 35°53'27'' N 14°28'27'' E .
