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 Cần Giờ
The DMS coordinates are: 10°24'40.1'' N 106°57'17.1'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 10.41115°
LngO = 106.95474°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -10.41115°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 106.95474 - 180° = -73.04526°
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 Cần Giờ is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-10.41115, -73.04526)
In DMS format: 10°24'40.1'' N 106°57'17.1'' E .
