How to calculate the antipodal point?
The antipode can be calculated by understanding the geographic coordinates and applying simple formulas. We will use the following variables:
- LatO: Latitude at the origin point.
- LngO: Longitude at the origin point.
- LatA: Latitude at the antipodal point.
- LngA: Longitude at the antipodal point.
Step 1: Obtain the geographic coordinates of Ngetkib
The DMS coordinates are: 7°21'52.2'' N 134°30'53.4'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 7.36451°
LngO = 134.51484°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -7.36451°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 134.51484 - 180° = -45.48516°
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 Ngetkib is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-7.36451, -45.48516)
In DMS format: 7°21'52.2'' N 134°30'53.4'' E .
