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 Ashmyany
The DMS coordinates are: 54°25'15.6'' N 25°56'9.6'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 54.421°
LngO = 25.936°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -54.421°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 25.936 - 180° = -154.064°
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 Ashmyany is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-54.421, -154.064)
In DMS format: 54°25'15.6'' N 25°56'9.6'' E .
