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 Diamond
The DMS coordinates are: 13°8'26.8'' N 61°10'4.9'' W.
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 13.14077°
LngO = -61.16803°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -13.14077°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = -61.16803 + 180° = 118.83197°
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 Diamond is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-13.14077, 118.83197)
In DMS format: 13°8'26.8'' N 61°10'4.9'' W.
