How to calculate the antipodal point?

The antipode can be calculated by understanding the geographic coordinates and applying simple formulas. We will use the following variables:

  • LatO: Latitude at the origin point.
  • LngO: Longitude at the origin point.
  • LatA: Latitude at the antipodal point.
  • LngA: Longitude at the antipodal point.

Step 1: Obtain the geographic coordinates of Şabāḩ as Sālim

The DMS coordinates are: 29°15'26'' N 48°3'26'' E .

Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:

LatO = 29.25722°

LngO = 48.05722°

Step 2: Calculate the latitude

LatA = - LatO = -29.25722°

Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).

Step 3: Calculate the longitude

LngA = LngO ± 180° = 48.05722 - 180° = -131.94278°

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 Şabāḩ as Sālim is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-29.25722, -131.94278)

In DMS format: 29°15'26'' N 48°3'26'' E .
