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 Ebon
The DMS coordinates are: 4°34'55.2'' N 168°41'46.9'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 4.58199°
LngO = 168.69636°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -4.58199°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 168.69636 - 180° = -11.30364°
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 Ebon is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-4.58199, -11.30364)
In DMS format: 4°34'55.2'' N 168°41'46.9'' E .
