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 Rasos
The DMS coordinates are: 54°40'43.6'' N 25°18'42.2'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 54.67877°
LngO = 25.31173°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -54.67877°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 25.31173 - 180° = -154.68827°
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 Rasos is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-54.67877, -154.68827)
In DMS format: 54°40'43.6'' N 25°18'42.2'' E .
