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 Palo Negro
The DMS coordinates are: 10°10'26'' N 67°32'31'' W.
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 10.17389°
LngO = -67.54194°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -10.17389°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = -67.54194 + 180° = 112.45806°
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 Palo Negro is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-10.17389, 112.45806)
In DMS format: 10°10'26'' N 67°32'31'' W.
