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 Rokiškis
The DMS coordinates are: 55°57'31.2'' N 25°35'40.8'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 55.95867°
LngO = 25.59466°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -55.95867°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 25.59466 - 180° = -154.40534°
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 Rokiškis is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-55.95867, -154.40534)
In DMS format: 55°57'31.2'' N 25°35'40.8'' E .
