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 Shahroban
The DMS coordinates are: 33°58'43'' N 44°56'13'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 33.97861°
LngO = 44.93694°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -33.97861°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 44.93694 - 180° = -135.06306°
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 Shahroban is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-33.97861, -135.06306)
In DMS format: 33°58'43'' N 44°56'13'' E .
