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 Damar
The DMS coordinates are: 14°32'33.9'' N 44°24'18.5'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 14.54274°
LngO = 44.40514°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -14.54274°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 44.40514 - 180° = -135.59486°
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 Damar is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-14.54274, -135.59486)
In DMS format: 14°32'33.9'' N 44°24'18.5'' E .
