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 Noratus
The DMS coordinates are: 40°22'40.5'' N 45°10'49.7'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 40.37793°
LngO = 45.18048°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -40.37793°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 45.18048 - 180° = -134.81952°
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 Noratus is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-40.37793, -134.81952)
In DMS format: 40°22'40.5'' N 45°10'49.7'' E .
