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 Justiniškės
The DMS coordinates are: 54°42'59.9'' N 25°13'2.6'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 54.71664°
LngO = 25.2174°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -54.71664°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 25.2174 - 180° = -154.7826°
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 Justiniškės is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-54.71664, -154.7826)
In DMS format: 54°42'59.9'' N 25°13'2.6'' E .
