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 Ta
The DMS coordinates are: 5°17'3.1'' N 153°38'52.8'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 5.2842°
LngO = 153.648°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -5.2842°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 153.648 - 180° = -26.352°
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 Ta is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-5.2842, -26.352)
In DMS format: 5°17'3.1'' N 153°38'52.8'' E .
