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 Kulundu
The DMS coordinates are: 40°6'22.9'' N 69°38'28.6'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 40.10635°
LngO = 69.64127°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -40.10635°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 69.64127 - 180° = -110.35873°
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 Kulundu is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-40.10635, -110.35873)
In DMS format: 40°6'22.9'' N 69°38'28.6'' E .
