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 Khachmaz
The DMS coordinates are: 41°27'51.3'' N 48°48'20.3'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 41.46426°
LngO = 48.80565°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -41.46426°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 48.80565 - 180° = -131.19435°
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 Khachmaz is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-41.46426, -131.19435)
In DMS format: 41°27'51.3'' N 48°48'20.3'' E .
