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 Bacău
The DMS coordinates are: 46°34'1.8'' N 26°54'49.8'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 46.56718°
LngO = 26.91384°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -46.56718°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 26.91384 - 180° = -153.08616°
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 Bacău is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-46.56718, -153.08616)
In DMS format: 46°34'1.8'' N 26°54'49.8'' E .
