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 Yen Bay
The DMS coordinates are: 21°43'22.4'' N 104°54'40.7'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 21.72288°
LngO = 104.9113°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -21.72288°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 104.9113 - 180° = -75.0887°
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 Yen Bay is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-21.72288, -75.0887)
In DMS format: 21°43'22.4'' N 104°54'40.7'' E .
