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 Ouro Sogui
The DMS coordinates are: 15°36'21.2'' N 13°19'20.3'' W.
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 15.60588°
LngO = -13.3223°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -15.60588°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = -13.3223 + 180° = 166.6777°
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 Ouro Sogui is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-15.60588, 166.6777)
In DMS format: 15°36'21.2'' N 13°19'20.3'' W.
