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 Markaz
The DMS coordinates are: 40°14'24.7'' N 71°53'59.4'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 40.24019°
LngO = 71.89983°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -40.24019°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 71.89983 - 180° = -108.10017°
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 Markaz is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-40.24019, -108.10017)
In DMS format: 40°14'24.7'' N 71°53'59.4'' E .
