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 Huacho
The DMS coordinates are: 11°6'24'' S 77°36'18'' W.
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = -11.10667°
LngO = -77.605°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = 11.10667°
Since the latitude is negative (south direction), the antipode must be positive (north direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = -77.605 + 180° = 102.395°
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 Huacho is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (11.10667, 102.395)
In DMS format: 11°6'24'' S 77°36'18'' W.
