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 Dnestrovsc
The DMS coordinates are: 46°36'59'' N 29°55'9.3'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 46.6164°
LngO = 29.91926°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -46.6164°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 29.91926 - 180° = -150.08074°
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 Dnestrovsc is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-46.6164, -150.08074)
In DMS format: 46°36'59'' N 29°55'9.3'' E .
