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 Niš
The DMS coordinates are: 43°19'29'' N 21°54'12'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 43.32472°
LngO = 21.90333°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -43.32472°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 21.90333 - 180° = -158.09667°
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 Niš is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-43.32472, -158.09667)
In DMS format: 43°19'29'' N 21°54'12'' E .
