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 Lebanon
The DMS coordinates are: 39°26'7.2'' N 84°12'10.8'' W.
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 39.43534°
LngO = -84.20299°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -39.43534°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = -84.20299 + 180° = 95.79701°
Since the longitude is negative, we sum 180° to ensure the final value lies between (-180, 180). If it were the other way around, we would subtract 180° for the same reason.
Result:
The antipode of Lebanon is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-39.43534, 95.79701)
In DMS format: 39°26'7.2'' N 84°12'10.8'' W.
