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 Agarak
The DMS coordinates are: 39°12'24.6'' N 46°32'40.6'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 39.20684°
LngO = 46.5446°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -39.20684°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 46.5446 - 180° = -133.4554°
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 Agarak is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-39.20684, -133.4554)
In DMS format: 39°12'24.6'' N 46°32'40.6'' E .
