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 Shahriar
The DMS coordinates are: 35°29'4.6'' N 51°4'58.4'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 35.4846°
LngO = 51.0829°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -35.4846°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 51.0829 - 180° = -128.9171°
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 Shahriar is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-35.4846, -128.9171)
In DMS format: 35°29'4.6'' N 51°4'58.4'' E .
