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 Jinin
The DMS coordinates are: 32°27'33.9'' N 35°18'3.1'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 32.45943°
LngO = 35.30086°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -32.45943°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 35.30086 - 180° = -144.69914°
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 Jinin is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-32.45943, -144.69914)
In DMS format: 32°27'33.9'' N 35°18'3.1'' E .
