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 Dubossary
The DMS coordinates are: 47°15'56.2'' N 29°10'0'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 47.26562°
LngO = 29.16667°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -47.26562°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 29.16667 - 180° = -150.83333°
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 Dubossary is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-47.26562, -150.83333)
In DMS format: 47°15'56.2'' N 29°10'0'' E .
