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 Qui Nhon
The DMS coordinates are: 13°46'35.3'' N 109°13'25.2'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 13.77648°
LngO = 109.22367°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -13.77648°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 109.22367 - 180° = -70.77633°
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 Qui Nhon is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-13.77648, -70.77633)
In DMS format: 13°46'35.3'' N 109°13'25.2'' E .
