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 Mojkovac
The DMS coordinates are: 42°57'37.6'' N 19°34'59.9'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 42.96044°
LngO = 19.5833°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -42.96044°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 19.5833 - 180° = -160.4167°
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 Mojkovac is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-42.96044, -160.4167)
In DMS format: 42°57'37.6'' N 19°34'59.9'' E .
