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 Sabzawar
The DMS coordinates are: 33°18'10.6'' N 62°8'50.6'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 33.30294°
LngO = 62.1474°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -33.30294°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 62.1474 - 180° = -117.8526°
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 Sabzawar is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-33.30294, -117.8526)
In DMS format: 33°18'10.6'' N 62°8'50.6'' E .
