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 Um Kasr
The DMS coordinates are: 30°2'10.3'' N 47°55'10.2'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 30.0362°
LngO = 47.91951°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -30.0362°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 47.91951 - 180° = -132.08049°
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 Um Kasr is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-30.0362, -132.08049)
In DMS format: 30°2'10.3'' N 47°55'10.2'' E .
