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 Anabar
The DMS coordinates are: 0°30'30.4'' S 166°57'11.7'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = -0.50845°
LngO = 166.95326°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = 0.50845°
Since the latitude is negative (south direction), the antipode must be positive (north direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 166.95326 - 180° = -13.04674°
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 Anabar is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (0.50845, -13.04674)
In DMS format: 0°30'30.4'' S 166°57'11.7'' E .
