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 Karibib
The DMS coordinates are: 21°55'60'' S 15°49'60'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = -21.93333°
LngO = 15.83333°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = 21.93333°
Since the latitude is negative (south direction), the antipode must be positive (north direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 15.83333 - 180° = -164.16667°
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 Karibib is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (21.93333, -164.16667)
In DMS format: 21°55'60'' S 15°49'60'' E .
