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 Hajje
The DMS coordinates are: 15°41'39.3'' N 43°36'21'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 15.69425°
LngO = 43.60582°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -15.69425°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 43.60582 - 180° = -136.39418°
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 Hajje is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-15.69425, -136.39418)
In DMS format: 15°41'39.3'' N 43°36'21'' E .
