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 Mejit
The DMS coordinates are: 10°16'31.1'' N 170°51'52.6'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 10.27531°
LngO = 170.86461°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -10.27531°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 170.86461 - 180° = -9.13539°
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 Mejit is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-10.27531, -9.13539)
In DMS format: 10°16'31.1'' N 170°51'52.6'' E .
