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 Chigha Serai
The DMS coordinates are: 34°52'23.2'' N 71°8'49.1'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 34.87311°
LngO = 71.14697°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -34.87311°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 71.14697 - 180° = -108.85303°
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 Chigha Serai is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-34.87311, -108.85303)
In DMS format: 34°52'23.2'' N 71°8'49.1'' E .
