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 Ngerkeai
The DMS coordinates are: 7°33'16.4'' N 134°38'10'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 7.55456°
LngO = 134.63612°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -7.55456°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 134.63612 - 180° = -45.36388°
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 Ngerkeai is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-7.55456, -45.36388)
In DMS format: 7°33'16.4'' N 134°38'10'' E .
