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 Kochani
The DMS coordinates are: 41°54'59'' N 22°24'46'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 41.91639°
LngO = 22.41278°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -41.91639°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 22.41278 - 180° = -157.58722°
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 Kochani is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-41.91639, -157.58722)
In DMS format: 41°54'59'' N 22°24'46'' E .
