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 Voinjama
The DMS coordinates are: 8°25'19'' N 9°44'52'' W.
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 8.42194°
LngO = -9.74778°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -8.42194°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = -9.74778 + 180° = 170.25222°
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 Voinjama is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-8.42194, 170.25222)
In DMS format: 8°25'19'' N 9°44'52'' W.
