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 Samobor
The DMS coordinates are: 45°48'11'' N 15°43'5'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 45.80306°
LngO = 15.71806°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -45.80306°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 15.71806 - 180° = -164.28194°
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 Samobor is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-45.80306, -164.28194)
In DMS format: 45°48'11'' N 15°43'5'' E .
