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 Rybnik
The DMS coordinates are: 50°5'49.7'' N 18°32'30.4'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 50.09713°
LngO = 18.54179°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -50.09713°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 18.54179 - 180° = -161.45821°
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 Rybnik is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-50.09713, -161.45821)
In DMS format: 50°5'49.7'' N 18°32'30.4'' E .
