How to calculate the antipodal point?

The antipode can be calculated by understanding the geographic coordinates and applying simple formulas. We will use the following variables:

  • LatO: Latitude at the origin point.
  • LngO: Longitude at the origin point.
  • LatA: Latitude at the antipodal point.
  • LngA: Longitude at the antipodal point.

Step 1: Obtain the geographic coordinates of Stowbtsy

The DMS coordinates are: 53°28'47.8'' N 26°44'6.4'' E .

Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:

LatO = 53.47994°

LngO = 26.7351°

Step 2: Calculate the latitude

LatA = - LatO = -53.47994°

Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).

Step 3: Calculate the longitude

LngA = LngO ± 180° = 26.7351 - 180° = -153.2649°

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 Stowbtsy is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-53.47994, -153.2649)

In DMS format: 53°28'47.8'' N 26°44'6.4'' E .
