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 Chachapoyas
The DMS coordinates are: 6°13'54.1'' S 77°52'8.5'' W.
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = -6.23169°
LngO = -77.86903°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = 6.23169°
Since the latitude is negative (south direction), the antipode must be positive (north direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = -77.86903 + 180° = 102.13097°
Since the longitude is negative, we sum 180° to ensure the final value lies between (-180, 180). If it were the other way around, we would subtract 180° for the same reason.
Result:
The antipode of Chachapoyas is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (6.23169, 102.13097)
In DMS format: 6°13'54.1'' S 77°52'8.5'' W.
