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 Bitola
The DMS coordinates are: 41°1'53.1'' N 21°20'5.1'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 41.03143°
LngO = 21.33474°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -41.03143°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 21.33474 - 180° = -158.66526°
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 Bitola is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-41.03143, -158.66526)
In DMS format: 41°1'53.1'' N 21°20'5.1'' E .
