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 Port Khor Fakkan
The DMS coordinates are: 25°19'52.8'' N 56°20'31.2'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 25.33132°
LngO = 56.34199°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -25.33132°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 56.34199 - 180° = -123.65801°
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 Port Khor Fakkan is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-25.33132, -123.65801)
In DMS format: 25°19'52.8'' N 56°20'31.2'' E .
