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 Gueul
The DMS coordinates are: 15°28'60'' N 16°21'0'' W.
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 15.48333°
LngO = -16.35°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -15.48333°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = -16.35 + 180° = 163.65°
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 Gueul is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-15.48333, 163.65)
In DMS format: 15°28'60'' N 16°21'0'' W.
