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 Karavan
The DMS coordinates are: 40°17'42.5'' N 72°11'10.6'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 40.29513°
LngO = 72.18627°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -40.29513°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 72.18627 - 180° = -107.81373°
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 Karavan is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-40.29513, -107.81373)
In DMS format: 40°17'42.5'' N 72°11'10.6'' E .
