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 Lukunor
The DMS coordinates are: 5°30'25.2'' N 153°49'13.8'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 5.507°
LngO = 153.8205°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -5.507°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 153.8205 - 180° = -26.1795°
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 Lukunor is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-5.507, -26.1795)
In DMS format: 5°30'25.2'' N 153°49'13.8'' E .
