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 Ambunti
The DMS coordinates are: 4°13'1.8'' S 142°49'6'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = -4.21717°
LngO = 142.81832°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = 4.21717°
Since the latitude is negative (south direction), the antipode must be positive (north direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 142.81832 - 180° = -37.18168°
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 Ambunti is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (4.21717, -37.18168)
In DMS format: 4°13'1.8'' S 142°49'6'' E .
