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 Tiflet
The DMS coordinates are: 33°53'40.9'' N 6°18'23.4'' W.
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 33.89469°
LngO = -6.30649°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -33.89469°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = -6.30649 + 180° = 173.69351°
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 Tiflet is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-33.89469, 173.69351)
In DMS format: 33°53'40.9'' N 6°18'23.4'' W.
