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 Soran
The DMS coordinates are: 36°39'11.5'' N 44°32'38.7'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 36.6532°
LngO = 44.54407°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -36.6532°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 44.54407 - 180° = -135.45593°
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 Soran is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-36.6532, -135.45593)
In DMS format: 36°39'11.5'' N 44°32'38.7'' E .
