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 Meyedine
The DMS coordinates are: 35°1'11.4'' N 40°27'5.5'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 35.01982°
LngO = 40.45154°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -35.01982°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 40.45154 - 180° = -139.54846°
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 Meyedine is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-35.01982, -139.54846)
In DMS format: 35°1'11.4'' N 40°27'5.5'' E .
