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 Jiayi Shi
The DMS coordinates are: 23°28'45'' N 120°26'56'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 23.47917°
LngO = 120.44889°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -23.47917°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 120.44889 - 180° = -59.55111°
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 Jiayi Shi is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-23.47917, -59.55111)
In DMS format: 23°28'45'' N 120°26'56'' E .
