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 Belgrade
The DMS coordinates are: 50°28'17'' N 4°49'45.7'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 50.47138°
LngO = 4.82935°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -50.47138°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 4.82935 - 180° = -175.17065°
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 Belgrade is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-50.47138, -175.17065)
In DMS format: 50°28'17'' N 4°49'45.7'' E .
