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 Struga
The DMS coordinates are: 41°10'40.8'' N 20°40'40.2'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 41.17799°
LngO = 20.67784°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -41.17799°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 20.67784 - 180° = -159.32216°
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 Struga is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-41.17799, -159.32216)
In DMS format: 41°10'40.8'' N 20°40'40.2'' E .
