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 Krychaw
The DMS coordinates are: 53°42'45'' N 31°43'1.2'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 53.7125°
LngO = 31.717°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -53.7125°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 31.717 - 180° = -148.283°
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 Krychaw is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-53.7125, -148.283)
In DMS format: 53°42'45'' N 31°43'1.2'' E .
