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 Bab Ezzouar
The DMS coordinates are: 36°43'34.1'' N 3°10'58.5'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 36.72615°
LngO = 3.18291°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -36.72615°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 3.18291 - 180° = -176.81709°
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 Bab Ezzouar is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-36.72615, -176.81709)
In DMS format: 36°43'34.1'' N 3°10'58.5'' E .
