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 Paidha
The DMS coordinates are: 2°25'0.1'' N 30°59'7.8'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 2.41669°
LngO = 30.98551°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -2.41669°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 30.98551 - 180° = -149.01449°
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 Paidha is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-2.41669, -149.01449)
In DMS format: 2°25'0.1'' N 30°59'7.8'' E .
