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 Sesvete
The DMS coordinates are: 45°49'52'' N 16°6'59'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 45.83111°
LngO = 16.11639°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -45.83111°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 16.11639 - 180° = -163.88361°
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 Sesvete is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-45.83111, -163.88361)
In DMS format: 45°49'52'' N 16°6'59'' E .
