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 Orsha
The DMS coordinates are: 54°30'29.2'' N 30°25'1.9'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 54.5081°
LngO = 30.4172°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -54.5081°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 30.4172 - 180° = -149.5828°
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 Orsha is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-54.5081, -149.5828)
In DMS format: 54°30'29.2'' N 30°25'1.9'' E .
