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 Barysaw
The DMS coordinates are: 54°13'40.4'' N 28°30'18'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 54.2279°
LngO = 28.505°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -54.2279°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 28.505 - 180° = -151.495°
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 Barysaw is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-54.2279, -151.495)
In DMS format: 54°13'40.4'' N 28°30'18'' E .
