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 Beteddin
The DMS coordinates are: 33°41'39'' N 35°34'51'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 33.69417°
LngO = 35.58083°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -33.69417°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 35.58083 - 180° = -144.41917°
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 Beteddin is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-33.69417, -144.41917)
In DMS format: 33°41'39'' N 35°34'51'' E .
