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 Shibergan
The DMS coordinates are: 36°40'3.3'' N 65°45'10.4'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 36.66757°
LngO = 65.7529°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -36.66757°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 65.7529 - 180° = -114.2471°
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 Shibergan is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-36.66757, -114.2471)
In DMS format: 36°40'3.3'' N 65°45'10.4'' E .
