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 Simson Bay Village
The DMS coordinates are: 18°2'16.2'' N 63°7'6.7'' W.
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 18.03783°
LngO = -63.11852°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -18.03783°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = -63.11852 + 180° = 116.88148°
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 Simson Bay Village is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-18.03783, 116.88148)
In DMS format: 18°2'16.2'' N 63°7'6.7'' W.
