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 Birni Ngaure
The DMS coordinates are: 13°4'54.2'' N 2°54'39.6'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 13.08173°
LngO = 2.91099°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -13.08173°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 2.91099 - 180° = -177.08901°
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 Birni Ngaure is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-13.08173, -177.08901)
In DMS format: 13°4'54.2'' N 2°54'39.6'' E .
