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 Fier-Çifçi
The DMS coordinates are: 40°43'0'' N 19°34'0'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 40.71667°
LngO = 19.56667°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -40.71667°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 19.56667 - 180° = -160.43333°
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 Fier-Çifçi is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-40.71667, -160.43333)
In DMS format: 40°43'0'' N 19°34'0'' E .
