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 Metinaro
The DMS coordinates are: 8°31'48.3'' S 125°44'29.9'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = -8.53007°
LngO = 125.74163°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = 8.53007°
Since the latitude is negative (south direction), the antipode must be positive (north direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 125.74163 - 180° = -54.25837°
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 Metinaro is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (8.53007, -54.25837)
In DMS format: 8°31'48.3'' S 125°44'29.9'' E .
