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 Batna
The DMS coordinates are: 35°33'21.5'' N 6°10'26.9'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 35.55597°
LngO = 6.17414°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -35.55597°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 6.17414 - 180° = -173.82586°
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 Batna is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-35.55597, -173.82586)
In DMS format: 35°33'21.5'' N 6°10'26.9'' E .
