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 Seraing
The DMS coordinates are: 50°35'1'' N 5°30'4.1'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 50.58362°
LngO = 5.50115°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -50.58362°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 5.50115 - 180° = -174.49885°
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 Seraing is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-50.58362, -174.49885)
In DMS format: 50°35'1'' N 5°30'4.1'' E .
