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 Berkane
The DMS coordinates are: 34°55'12'' N 2°19'12'' W.
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 34.92°
LngO = -2.32°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -34.92°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = -2.32 + 180° = 177.68°
Since the longitude is negative, we sum 180° to ensure the final value lies between (-180, 180). If it were the other way around, we would subtract 180° for the same reason.
Result:
The antipode of Berkane is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-34.92, 177.68)
In DMS format: 34°55'12'' N 2°19'12'' W.
