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 Sialkot
The DMS coordinates are: 32°29'33.6'' N 74°31'52.8'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 32.49268°
LngO = 74.53134°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -32.49268°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 74.53134 - 180° = -105.46866°
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 Sialkot is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-32.49268, -105.46866)
In DMS format: 32°29'33.6'' N 74°31'52.8'' E .
