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 Cockburn Harbour
The DMS coordinates are: 21°29'34.5'' N 71°31'58.9'' W.
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 21.49293°
LngO = -71.53304°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -21.49293°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = -71.53304 + 180° = 108.46696°
Since the longitude is negative, we sum 180° to ensure the final value lies between (-180, 180). If it were the other way around, we would subtract 180° for the same reason.
Result:
The antipode of Cockburn Harbour is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-21.49293, 108.46696)
In DMS format: 21°29'34.5'' N 71°31'58.9'' W.
