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 Bunda
The DMS coordinates are: 2°2'60'' S 33°52'0'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = -2.05°
LngO = 33.86667°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = 2.05°
Since the latitude is negative (south direction), the antipode must be positive (north direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 33.86667 - 180° = -146.13333°
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 Bunda is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (2.05, -146.13333)
In DMS format: 2°2'60'' S 33°52'0'' E .
