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 Idnah
The DMS coordinates are: 31°33'31.5'' N 34°58'27.7'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 31.55874°
LngO = 34.97436°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -31.55874°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 34.97436 - 180° = -145.02564°
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 Idnah is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-31.55874, -145.02564)
In DMS format: 31°33'31.5'' N 34°58'27.7'' E .
