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 Vila de liquissa
The DMS coordinates are: 8°35'15'' S 125°20'31'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = -8.5875°
LngO = 125.34194°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = 8.5875°
Since the latitude is negative (south direction), the antipode must be positive (north direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 125.34194 - 180° = -54.65806°
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 Vila de liquissa is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (8.5875, -54.65806)
In DMS format: 8°35'15'' S 125°20'31'' E .
