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 Baruun-Urt
The DMS coordinates are: 46°40'50'' N 113°16'45'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 46.68056°
LngO = 113.27917°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -46.68056°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 113.27917 - 180° = -66.72083°
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 Baruun-Urt is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-46.68056, -66.72083)
In DMS format: 46°40'50'' N 113°16'45'' E .
