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 Kotovskoye
The DMS coordinates are: 46°49'49.7'' N 28°35'26.3'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 46.83047°
LngO = 28.59064°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -46.83047°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 28.59064 - 180° = -151.40936°
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 Kotovskoye is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-46.83047, -151.40936)
In DMS format: 46°49'49.7'' N 28°35'26.3'' E .
