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 Gorzdy
The DMS coordinates are: 55°42'34.2'' N 21°23'39.9'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 55.70951°
LngO = 21.39441°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -55.70951°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 21.39441 - 180° = -158.60559°
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 Gorzdy is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-55.70951, -158.60559)
In DMS format: 55°42'34.2'' N 21°23'39.9'' E .
