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 Tayibeh
The DMS coordinates are: 32°15'58.2'' N 35°0'32.1'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 32.26616°
LngO = 35.00893°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -32.26616°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 35.00893 - 180° = -144.99107°
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 Tayibeh is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-32.26616, -144.99107)
In DMS format: 32°15'58.2'' N 35°0'32.1'' E .
