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 Nasir
The DMS coordinates are: 8°36'59.7'' N 33°3'43.7'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 8.61658°
LngO = 33.06215°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -8.61658°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 33.06215 - 180° = -146.93785°
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 Nasir is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-8.61658, -146.93785)
In DMS format: 8°36'59.7'' N 33°3'43.7'' E .
