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 Nazareth
The DMS coordinates are: 50°57'24.7'' N 3°35'39.3'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 50.95686°
LngO = 3.59425°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -50.95686°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 3.59425 - 180° = -176.40575°
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 Nazareth is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-50.95686, -176.40575)
In DMS format: 50°57'24.7'' N 3°35'39.3'' E .
