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 Kenana
The DMS coordinates are: 14°2'10'' N 33°10'16.3'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 14.0361°
LngO = 33.1712°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -14.0361°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 33.1712 - 180° = -146.8288°
Since the longitude is positive, we subtract 180° to ensure the final value lies between (-180, 180). If it were the other way around, we would sum 180° for the same reason.
Result:
The antipode of Kenana is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-14.0361, -146.8288)
In DMS format: 14°2'10'' N 33°10'16.3'' E .
