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 Kentau
The DMS coordinates are: 43°31'0.2'' N 68°30'16.7'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 43.51672°
LngO = 68.50463°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -43.51672°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 68.50463 - 180° = -111.49537°
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 Kentau is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-43.51672, -111.49537)
In DMS format: 43°31'0.2'' N 68°30'16.7'' E .
