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 Rouissat
The DMS coordinates are: 31°55'27.4'' N 5°21'0.6'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 31.92427°
LngO = 5.35018°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -31.92427°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 5.35018 - 180° = -174.64982°
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 Rouissat is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-31.92427, -174.64982)
In DMS format: 31°55'27.4'' N 5°21'0.6'' E .
