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 Koné
The DMS coordinates are: 21°3'34.2'' S 164°51'57'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = -21.05951°
LngO = 164.86582°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = 21.05951°
Since the latitude is negative (south direction), the antipode must be positive (north direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 164.86582 - 180° = -15.13418°
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 Koné is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (21.05951, -15.13418)
In DMS format: 21°3'34.2'' S 164°51'57'' E .
