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 Jubayl
The DMS coordinates are: 34°7'16'' N 35°38'53'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 34.12111°
LngO = 35.64806°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -34.12111°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 35.64806 - 180° = -144.35194°
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 Jubayl is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-34.12111, -144.35194)
In DMS format: 34°7'16'' N 35°38'53'' E .
