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 Nuatya
The DMS coordinates are: 6°57'0'' N 1°10'0'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 6.95°
LngO = 1.16667°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -6.95°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 1.16667 - 180° = -178.83333°
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 Nuatya is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-6.95, -178.83333)
In DMS format: 6°57'0'' N 1°10'0'' E .
