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 Saïda
The DMS coordinates are: 34°49'49.2'' N 0°9'6.2'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 34.83033°
LngO = 0.15171°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -34.83033°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 0.15171 - 180° = -179.84829°
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 Saïda is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-34.83033, -179.84829)
In DMS format: 34°49'49.2'' N 0°9'6.2'' E .
