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 Xylotymbou
The DMS coordinates are: 35°0'58.6'' N 33°44'36.6'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 35.01627°
LngO = 33.7435°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -35.01627°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 33.7435 - 180° = -146.2565°
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 Xylotymbou is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-35.01627, -146.2565)
In DMS format: 35°0'58.6'' N 33°44'36.6'' E .
