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 Oneop
The DMS coordinates are: 5°30'23.8'' N 153°42'37.8'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 5.5066°
LngO = 153.7105°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -5.5066°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 153.7105 - 180° = -26.2895°
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 Oneop is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-5.5066, -26.2895)
In DMS format: 5°30'23.8'' N 153°42'37.8'' E .
