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 El Eulma
The DMS coordinates are: 36°9'10.1'' N 5°41'24.6'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 36.15281°
LngO = 5.69016°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -36.15281°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 5.69016 - 180° = -174.30984°
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 El Eulma is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-36.15281, -174.30984)
In DMS format: 36°9'10.1'' N 5°41'24.6'' E .
