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 Khāliş
The DMS coordinates are: 33°48'29.1'' N 44°32'0.3'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 33.80809°
LngO = 44.53343°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -33.80809°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 44.53343 - 180° = -135.46657°
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 Khāliş is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-33.80809, -135.46657)
In DMS format: 33°48'29.1'' N 44°32'0.3'' E .
