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 Dobrush
The DMS coordinates are: 52°24'32'' N 31°19'25.3'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 52.4089°
LngO = 31.3237°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -52.4089°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 31.3237 - 180° = -148.6763°
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 Dobrush is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-52.4089, -148.6763)
In DMS format: 52°24'32'' N 31°19'25.3'' E .
