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 Ath Thawrah
The DMS coordinates are: 35°50'15.3'' N 38°32'53.8'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 35.83758°
LngO = 38.54828°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -35.83758°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 38.54828 - 180° = -141.45172°
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 Ath Thawrah is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-35.83758, -141.45172)
In DMS format: 35°50'15.3'' N 38°32'53.8'' E .
