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 Yannina
The DMS coordinates are: 39°39'53.5'' N 20°51'6.8'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 39.66486°
LngO = 20.85189°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -39.66486°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 20.85189 - 180° = -159.14811°
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 Yannina is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-39.66486, -159.14811)
In DMS format: 39°39'53.5'' N 20°51'6.8'' E .
