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 Ninove
The DMS coordinates are: 50°49'39.9'' N 4°1'35.7'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 50.82776°
LngO = 4.02657°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -50.82776°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 4.02657 - 180° = -175.97343°
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 Ninove is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-50.82776, -175.97343)
In DMS format: 50°49'39.9'' N 4°1'35.7'' E .
