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 Prokuplje
The DMS coordinates are: 43°14'3'' N 21°35'17'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 43.23417°
LngO = 21.58806°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -43.23417°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 21.58806 - 180° = -158.41194°
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 Prokuplje is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-43.23417, -158.41194)
In DMS format: 43°14'3'' N 21°35'17'' E .
